Senior Pedestrian Killed in Saugus Hit-and-Run

January 29, 2010 - Saugus - An 80-year-old man died after a hit-and-run accident on Thursday.

According to WickedLocal.com, the man was crossing Central Street at about 5:30 p.m. when he was struck by what witnesses say was a small SUV. The vehicle did not stop. The victim was transported to Melrose-Wakefield Hospital, and later Mass General Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. 

Unfortunately, no one has come forward to admit their involvement with this fatal hit-and-run accident. A witness at the scene was able to describe the vehicle as a small-sized SUV, and police expect the car in question to have some damage to the front-end on the right side.
