Sally Miksiewicz, CEO of East Penn Manufacturing, was killed on June 20 while jogging near her home.
At around 7.27a.m, Miksiewicz, 52, was hit by a pick-up truck in Richmond Township, not far from her home in Pike Township, Pennsylvania. "She was either walking or jogging," according the county coroner. "Her normal routine was to jog."
