On behalf of Aiken and Aiken P.C. Personal Injury Attorneys posted in Car Accidents, on Wednesday, November 6, 2013

A Massachusetts man has been charged with causing the death of a 35-year-old teacher following a hit and run accident. Car accidents around the country claim lives everyday, and this woman is now another tragic victim. The man who has been charged in connection with this fatal accident is reported to have a list of prior convictions, some of which were in connection with the operation of a vehicle.The fatal hit and run collision occurred in the early evening slightly before 8 o’clock. The woman and her spouse were strolling along a residential road when they were hit from behind by the man’s truck. The woman was tossed up onto the front of the vehicle before rolling back onto the road. The man was also struck, but he is reported to have received less serious injuries. Witnesses who reportedly claimed to have heard the collision state that the driver was nowhere to be seen. Emergency medical responders attempted to perform life-saving procedures on the woman, however she was reported to have died less than an hour after being struck. The driver has stated that he was not thinking rationally after hitting the couple and that he left the site of the wreck immediately. However, because the truck’s license plate had been knocked off as a result of the impact, authorities were able to quickly locate the man’s residence.While car accidents seldom leave a life unchanged for the parties involved, in this tragic accident, an entire Massachusetts community has been terribly impacted. The woman who was killed was reportedly a beloved and gifted teacher in her local school district. Now, not only has her surviving family been left to try and handle the death of their cherished wife and mother; a large segment of the community will also be left to mourn her passing. The woman’s husband may seek to find some justice and solace for the loss of his wife by filing a wrongful death suit against the driver who has been deemed responsible for the death of a beloved wife, mother and educator.
