The woman was returning from shopping, most likely from a nearby market. The truck driver was coming from the direction of Lwówek Śląski and was turning right. The woman was crossing at the pedestrian crossing when the light was green. The truck driver also had a green light, but should have stopped before the crossing and yielded to the pedestrian.
