closeA 93-year-old woman was killed Thursday in a traffic accident shortly after 3 p.m. in front of Kroger at 4650 Forsyth Road in Macon.
Authorities said Elma Tompkins, of the 500 block of Byars Drive, was attempting to make a left turn from the Kroger parking lot onto Forsyth Road when she pulled in front of a black Ford transport van traveling southbound.

The driver of the van and three passengers were transported to The Medical Center of Central Georgia. Details of their injuries were not available.
