Prosecutor identifies woman hit and killed by car on South Shore – Boston 25 News

HANSON, Mass. — Authorities have identified a woman who was struck and killed by a car while trying to cross a street on Massachusetts’ south coast Tuesday night.

Officers responding to a report of a pedestrian accident in the area of ​​22 Main Street shortly after 6 p.m. found a woman lying in the street with “apparent injuries to her lower extremities,” according to Plymouth District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz, and Hanson Police Chief Michael Miksch said in a joint news release.

First responders were in the process of transporting the victim, identified as 76-year-old Pembroke resident Donna Mark, to a designated landing zone to meet a medical helicopter when her “condition” changed, according to Cruz and Miksch.

Mark was then taken by ambulance to South Shore Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

According to a preliminary investigation, Mark was attempting to cross the street when an eastbound motorist stopped to let them pass. She was then struck by a white Honda CRV as she walked north across an eastbound lane.

The driver of the Honda remained at the scene of the accident. No charges were filed.

Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to Cruz’s office are assisting Hanson police with an investigation.

This fatal pedestrian accident comes after women were stuck and killed in Framingham and Brockton this week. A man was also struck by a vehicle and seriously injured in Medford on Wednesday.
