She was taken to Bedford Memorial Hospital for treatment.
State police say the truck driver, 32-year-old Jeffrey Cook of Glade Hill, will probably be charged.

IT'S SORT OF A BREAST CANCER CAMERA CALLED THERMOGRAPHIC IMAGING. IT'S
TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN ZERO-IN ON THE HEAT EMITTED FROM TUMORS, AND FIND
BREAST CANCER AT THE EARLIEST, MOST CURABLE STAGES.
SOT Dr. Gerald Goldberg
Breast Imaging Expert
Track
BREAST CANCER STRIKES 200,000 WOMEN EACH YEAR IN THE U.S., AND IT KILLS
MORE THAN 40,000. THE BEST TEST TO CATCH IT EARLY IS THE MAMMOGRAM, BUT
THAT TEST HAS IT'S LIMITATIONS.
SOT DR. GERALD GOLDBERG
"Well the rate of success of mammography is obviously very good, but it
can still miss about 30% of some cases of cancer."
Track
THAT'S WHY SOME EXPERTS LIKE DR. GERALD GOLDBERG, ARE NOW USING A
TECHNIQUE CALLED THERMAL BREAST IMAGING OR THERMOGRAPHY TO FIND MORE
CANCERS, EARLIER THAN EVER BEFORE.
SOT BRIDGE
"Thermography uses the same imaging system as satellites to detect the
subtle heat differences between cancerous tumors and benign conditions
like fibrocystic disease."
SOT GOLDBERG
"Well breast cancer is going to be associated with increased blood
vessels, increased heat. Whereas a benign cyst will have a dark black
area b/c there's no blood vessels associated with a cyst."
Track
AND SINCE BLOOD VESSELS OFTEN FORM BEFORE THE TUMOR--THERMOGRAPHY MAY
CATCH BREAST CANCER YEARS BEFORE THE MAMMOGRAM. COMBINE THE TWO, AND THE
DETECTION RATE DRAMATICALLY IMPROVES.
SOT GOLDBERG
"It's best used when it's used with mammography, and statistics have
shown you can get a 95% pick-up rate if you do both a mammogram and
thermal imaging together."
VO
PLUS THE PROCEDURE DOESN'T COMPRESS THE BREAST TISSUE, OR USE ANY
RADIATION, MAKING IT AN IDEAL TEST FOR YOUNG WOMEN AT RISK.
TAG
THERMOGRAPHY IS FDA APPROVED, COSTS ABOUT 145 DOLLARS, AND INSURANCE
DOESN'T USUALLY COVER IT. BUT ONLY TRAINED DOCTORS PERFORM THE TEST, AND
SINCE NO MEDICATION IS NEEDED, NEITHER IS A PRESCRIPTION. DR. SEAN
