2nd pedestrian hit in crosswalk
ust four days after an undergraduate was hit
by a car while crossing University Drive, an 18-year-old student
from UMass Dartmouth sustained minor injuries after being struck
by a vehicle as she used a crosswalk just north of the site of the
earlier accident.
Shandralee Lerro,
18, of South Boston, sustained minor injuries Sept. 27 after being
hit around 7:30 p.m. near the Southwest horseshoe. According to
police, the driver, Bruce Feldman, 63, of Tucson, Ariz., hit Lerro
as he tried to pass a vehicle that had stopped to allow the student
to cross.
Lerro was treated
and released at Cooley Dickinson Hospital.
Feldman was cited
for failure to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk.
UMass Police and
a State Police accident reconstruction team are investigating.
