CONCORD, MASS. (WHDH) - Authorities are investigating after an elderly pedestrian was fatally struck by a vehicle in Concord on Thursday.
Officers responding to a reported pedestrian crash at the intersection of Main and Thoreau streets about 10:30 a.m. found a car in the middle of the roadway and a woman in her late 60s trapped underneath it.
The woman, whose name has not been released, was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead, according to the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office.
Landscaper Ashley Bourgault tells 7News she was working nearby when she heard the crash and called it in.
“I just saw the woman’s legs, right before the back tires. And asked if she was still breathing, she was still breathing. And I got on the phone and just called 911,” Bourgault said.
Firefighters tell 7News that the victim’s body was almost entirely under the car. They say special tools, airbags and wooden blocks were used to free the victim.
The driver who struck her remained on scene.
Neighbors say the victim was struck while in the crosswalk, pointing to a thermos left in the road.
No additional information was immediately available.
