The woman who was struck and killed by a private garbage truck Monday morning has been identified as Margaret Soo Kyung Kim, 88, of Nuuanu.

The city Medical Examiner’s Office said Kim died of blunt force injuries to her torso caused by a motor vehicle collision.

She was taken to the Queen’s Medical Center, where she died.
