A woman was struck and killed by a truck that was carrying a U.S. Army M1 Abrams tank away that had been used for President Donald Trump's military parade on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., two days previously.

President Donald Trump celebrated the "fighting spirit and unyielding force" of the American military in remarks following a parade in Washington, D.C. commemorating the 250th anniversary of the armed services that saw a grand showing of the military's power throughout the National Mall.

The military parade is slated for Saturday, June 14, in the heart of Washington, D.C., spanning six blocks and bisecting the National Mall. Organizers say the procession begins at 3:30 p.m. PST.
