CAMBRIDGE, MASS. (WHDH) - Authorities have identified the 67-year-old Cambridge woman who was struck and killed by a boom truck in Harvard Square on Tuesday.
Officers responding to a report of a pedestrian struck on Brattle Street near the Out of Town News building just before 7 a.m. found Sharon Hamer suffering from serious injuries, Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Cambridge Police Commissioner Branville Bard Jr. announced Wednesday in a joint press release.
Hamer was transported to an area hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.
A preliminary investigation suggests a Waltham Lumber boom truck carrying sheetrock hit Hamer while she crossed the street without using a crosswalk, Ryan and Bard said.
The driver of the boom truck remained on the scene.
No charges have been filed.
