Pedestrian, 81, hit by SUV dies; driver cited

December 31, 2019

The victim, who was not identified in first reports, was transported to an area hospital with serious and potentially life threatening injuries, where she died from her injuries on Dec. 31, a DA’s news release said. The release does not detail the injuries. No charges have been filed in the case, BostonGlobe.com reported.

Officers were seen recovering a walking cane from the scene, WCVB reported, and the photo, above, taken by Schlichtman showed the cane and a shoe.

The driver remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation, which remains active and ongoing, the statement from John Guilfoil Public Relations said. The driver has also not been identified.

Leading the investigation is the Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section.

The Arlington police log for the Dec. 31 incident is captioned “crosswalk violation,” but the details of the log are not available when a case remains under investigation.


This news announcement was published Tuesday, Dec. 31, 2019, and updated Jan. 9, 2020, to add driver information.
