A woman involved in an automobile accident last week on Plaza Drive died July 4 from injuries received from the accident.

Wendy Tidwell Hanson, 56, of New Brockton was injured after being struck on the driver's side door by a semi-truck near the 500 block of Plaza Drive at about 3:12 p.m., June 28.

According to Sgt. Steve Russell, public information officer with the Enterprise Police Department, Hanson was the driver of a 2007 Saturn Ion. While attempting to turn left onto Plaza Drive from Wallace Drive, she pulled out in front of an on-coming semi-truck that was traveling southbound on Plaza Drive.

A Flatiron medevac helicopter from Fort Rucker arrived on the scene and transported Hanson and the passenger, Lauren McLendon, to Southeast Alabama Medical Center in Dothan for treatment. McLendon was later released.

Hanson's funeral will be 10 a.m. July 7 at Sorrells Funeral Home.
