INDIAN TOWNSHIP, Maine — Passamaquoddy tribal police say a woman was killed when she was run over by her husband’s big rig as he left their home following a verbal dispute.

Nicholas says 35-year-old Jason Walton stopped the truck when he realized what had happened.

No charges have been filed. Nicholas says the incident remains under investigation but the death appears accidental.
