A Twentynine Palms woman walking her dog was hit by a truck Saturday night. An unidentified 27-year-old woman, who was wearing a black jacket and khaki pants, was walking a dog on the side of the road on the east side of Utah Trail shortly before 8 p.m. when the side mirror from a passing Dodge pick-up truck hit her in the back of the head and knocked her to the ground. The west side of Utah Trail has sidewalks and there are street lights in the area. The woman had minor swelling on her head and complained of neck pain. She was taken to Hi-Desert Medical Center for treatment. The dog is OK.
