Police say the chief executive of a Reading-area battery manufacturer with thousands of employees is dead after being struck by a vehicle while walking for exercise.
State police told the Reading Eagle that 52-year-old Sally Miksiewicz died Friday morning.
She'd headed up East Penn Manufacturing Co. Inc., a company founded by her father and grandfather nearly 70 years ago, since 2009.
The company has about 6,700 workers.
A deputy coroner tells the paper the road is very narrow in the area where Miksiewicz was killed.
