On May 3, deputies from the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office responded to the 150 block of Enterprise Street in Sterling, shortly before 3 p.m. for a reported pedestrian struck by a vehicle.

A 56-year-old Sterling woman exited her vehicle after a minivan backed into the parking space behind her.  Believing the minivan was stopped; the woman proceeded to the trunk of her car and was removing items when the minivan made contact with her.
