I live in the Bay Area and the Asiana crash was big news for us here.
The young lady was killed by the truck, she was ALIVE when she was run over.
Your info is incorrect.

quote from J.O.
Um, no. The coroner's report stated that the passenger who was unfortunately struck by the fire truck was in fact already deceased. Regardless, she'd never have been in a position to be struck - nor would the fire truck have been there - had someone remembered how to fly their airplane.

Coroner: Asiana Flight 214 victim killed by fire truck, not plane crash - NBC News

There is little doubt though that the crew totally messed up the approach. They couldn't handle a visual in good weather and daylight. Weren't "trained" to be able to. And/or didn't fully understand the workings of the 777.
