Somerville Man Struck, Killed in Boston Tunnel

David Dang, 75, of Somerville was struck and killed by a passing vehicle Friday morning in the Tip O’Neill Tunnel in Boston after exchanging paperwork with another driver following a minor accident.

What Happened

The Boston Globe reported that Dang and another unnamed driver were involved in a fender-bender just after 8:00 a.m. that morning near Exit 20 on I-93. Dang got out of his Honda Pilot after pulling over onto a narrow shoulder in the tunnel and exchanged information with the other driver.

Dang walked back to his vehicle and was then struck by a passing Toyota RAV4 driven by an unidentified 64-year-old Ayer man. Emergency workers rushed Dang to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The driver involved in the fender-bender with Dang left the scene before State Police arrived to the scene of the deadly crash.

Runaway BMW Injures Woman on Beacon Hill

An unattended vehicle struck and seriously injured a 45-year-old woman in the Beacon Hill neighborhood yesterday afternoon.

According to Boston police, the BMW was apparently double-parked and left in neutral when it began rolling backward and pinning a woman to the ground on Mt. Vernon Street at about 3:15 p.m.

The victim, whose name has not been released, suffered life-threatening injuries in the accident. She was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where she was in a guarded condition late last night, The Boston Globe reported.

According to a Boston Fire Department spokesman, construction workers first responded to the scene and tried to lift the car with a jack when firefighters arrived and moved the vehicle.

The owner of the vehicle is not yet named.

Liability Issues and Seeking Legal Help

Since the unattended vehicle was left in neutral, the owner may be held accountable for the injuries inflicted on the 45-year-old victim.

Hit-and-Run Allston Accident Seriously Injures 6-Year-Old Girl

Police have not identified the young girl, 6, who was hit by a silver Jeep Cherokee Saturday night just before 8:30pm, while she and her parents were crossing an Allston street where Cambridge Street and Harvard Avenue intersect.

The little girl was rushed to a local hospital for a broken neck and bleeding in her brain from the accident.  Sunday afternoon, she was upgraded from critical condition to serious condition and is expected to recover from her injuries. 

The Jeep left the scene of the accident as soon as the girl was hit and police are still looking for the vehicle and the driver who is responsible for the hit-and-run.  According to police, the Jeep would have front-end damage as well as damage to the headlights.

Eulalio Rosario, 79, Struck and Killed by Car in Lawrence

Eulalio Rosario, 79, of Lawrence, was killed when he was struck by a car Thursday morning on High Street in Lawrence near Pleasant Street.

The elderly man had left his house where he lived with his daughter, Maria Polanco, to walk to the Lawrence Senior Center for the day at about 8:00am when he was hit by a Chrysler Pacifica driven by Madeline Delgado, 27, who is also from Lawrence.  Polanco witnessed the fatal accident from inside her home and rushed outside when she realized it was her father who had been hit.

No charges have been brought against Delgado at the moment, who reportedly told police that Rosario seemed to come out of nowhere onto the street and she could not stop in time.  Officials are continuing to investigate what caused the tragic accident.

The impact of the accident forcefully sent Rosario about 10 feet up in the air before landing on the road.  Rosario’s shoes were found in the street, along with some other personal items of his. 

He was taken to an area hospital but succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead.

Rosario was initially reported to be 56-years-old.

An unidentified woman was struck by an MBTA bus yesterday morning just after 8:00am at the intersection of Commercial and Centre Street in Malden.

Norbert Bedard, 85, Hit and Killed by Car in Adams

Norbert Bedard, 85, of Adams, was hit by a car as he was crossing Park Street in downtown Adams last Friday.  Bedard was rushed to an area hospital where he was pronounced dead.

It was reported that Bedard was not in a marked pedestrian crosswalk at the time he was struck.  The driver who hit Bedard has been identified as Jessica Bailot, 18, also of Adams.  Bailot was alone in the car when the accident occurred and was not injured.  No charges have been filed against her at this time.

In 2008, senior citizens were involved in 15% of traffic deaths across the nation.  Seniors also accounted for 18% of deaths involving pedestrians.  In Massachusetts last year, there were 7 pedestrians aged 65 and older who were killed after being struck by a car on the roadway.

Teenager Killed in Seekonk Hit and Run Accident

Jacob Mayo, 18, of Seekonk, was killed when he was hit by an oncoming car while walking in the breakdown lane on I-95 late last Friday night.  Police involved with the case have not made an arrest yet in the fatal accident case, but it has been reported that that they have recovered the car that officials believe struck and killed the teen. 

Authorities are not releasing information on where the vehicle that hit Mayo was found or how they found it.  Additionally, police have not released the name of who the vehicle belongs to or who may be responsible for the fatal accident.  It is also unknown at this point why Mayo was walking in the breakdown lane of the highway that tragic night.

The deadly accident remains under investigation as state and local police continue to search for more answers. 

 More than 10% of all car accidents nationwide involve hit and runs, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). 

Two of the more common reasons why drivers leave the scene of an accident after they hit either a car or a pedestrian are because the driver may not have car insurance and, secondly, that the driver was operating under the influence of alcohol or drugs and attempts to avoid getting caught.

In the U.S. last year, just under 4,100 pedestrians were killed as a result of being struck by a car on the nation’s roadways.  In Massachusetts of the same year, there were 48 pedestrians killed after being hit by a motor vehicle.

Our sympathies go to the family of Jacob Mayo for their tragic loss.

Simin Arad Cancer Researcher Dies in Boston Pedestrian Accident

Simin Arad of Roxbury, a cancer researcher was the woman who was struck by a Longwood Medical area bus in Boston around 8:49 am yesterday.

Instead of being in her 30s as early news reports said, police reported that the woman was 50 years old.

She was fatally injured as she got struck by the shuttle while she was crossing at the intersection of Ruggles Street and Huntington Avenue. According to passenger accounts, the bus was passing through a green light at the intersection “when a female who was on the sidewalk just walked in front of the bus,” police records said.

Arad succumbed to her injuries at Brigham and Woman’s Hospital later that day. Arad was a researcher at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. 

The bus driver was also taken to a hospital. He has not been charged in connection to this tragic accident.

Fatal Pedestrian Accidents Statistics
According to the NHTSA, 56 people died in pedestrian accidents after they were struck by a bus in 2009. In general, of the 4,092 pedestrians killed by motor vehicles in 2009, 343 died in morning accidents between 6 am and 9 am.

This latest pedestrian death is another somber reminder that we should all be extra careful, both as drivers and pedestrians, especially at intersections.

Liability Issues
In fatal pedestrian accidents, investigators will try to determine the cause. If they find that the driver is at fault, the driver could be held liable for the pedestrian's wrongful death, and the victim’s family could seek compensation to cover medical and funeral expenses, lost future income, loss of love and companionship, and other related damages.

In some cases, the accident may be caused by a dangerous road condition. In that case, the city or government agency responsible for the roadway could be held liable.

If you or someone in your family have been in a similar accident, contact an experienced Boston personal injury lawyer to find out about your legal option.
