PARIS, Ill. (WTWO/WAWV) — A Paris woman is dead following a vehicle-pedestrian accident Saturday morning in the parking lot of Walmart in Paris.
At around 11:10 a.m. on Saturday, Teresa M. England, 66, of Paris was leaving Walmart while pushing a shopping cart back to her vehicle.
At the same time, a 2019 Ford Expedition driven by Ellen Coolley, 73, of Brocton, Illinois, was traveling south down a parking lot lane.

England was pronounced dead at the scene by Edgar County Coroner Scott Barrett.
The accident remains under investigation by the Paris Police Department and the Edgar County Coroner.
