The two men who were arrested after their pickup truck struck and killed a highway construction worker on a road project on Route 9 last Tuesday, now each say the other man was behind the wheel at their arraignment in Framingham District Court.
According to police, Jeremy Gardner, 29, of Bridgton, Maine, was the one driving the red pickup when it struck Gregory Vilidnitsky, 57, of Framingham, while the other man in the truck, Walter T. Smith, 39, of Barre, Vermont, was the passenger.
Both men were arrested on operating under the influence.
Vilidnitsky bled to death from his head injury sustained in the crash. He was not immediately discovered after the accident, so it is not known if his life could have been saved in time.
Vilidnitsky would have turned 58 on September 15 - one day after the accident occurred.
