ABILENE – An 80-year-old Abilene woman has passed away due to injuries sustained in a vehicle crash according to the Abilene Police Department.

On Thursday, September 22, 2022, Ida Schulz of Abilene was walking in the parking lot of a north Abilene Walmart Supercenter located in the 1600 block of Hwy. 351, when a vehicle backing out of a parking space hit her. Ms. Schulz was pushing a shopping basket into the store when she stopped, bent down to retrieve property she had dropped and was impacted by a 2006 Hyundai Sonata.
