A Machias woman was killed Tuesday afternoon when the vehicle she was riding in was struck by a pickup truck in Jonesboro.

Diana O’Neal, 68, of Machias, was a passenger in a 2003 Subaru Forester driven by her sister Tammy O’Neal, 62, when it was struck by a pickup driven by Lenore Faulkingham, 69, of Whitneyville, said Shannon Moss, spokesperson for the Maine Department of Public Safety. Diana O’Neal died at the scene and Tammy O’Neal was transported to Downeast Community Hospital in Machias, where she was treated for non-life threatening injuries.
