ANDOVER - After a 5-year-old girl was killed by a truck at the Elm Square intersection in Andover, the town will hold a public forum on a traffic study of the area.

The traffic study of the Elm Square intersection was approved at the town's annual town meeting on May 1, with funds for the study to become available on July 1.

However, after 5-year-old Sidney Olson was hit by a tractor-trailer on Elm Street while walking to an art class with a relative earlier this month, Town Manager Andrew Flanagan authorized the traffic study "immediately," the town said.
