A fatal collision in Lynn grows heavy on the hearts of a community as a 78-year-old woman's life was abruptly ended by a flatbed truck early this morning. Officials report the incident occurred at approximately 6:20 a.m. near the vicinity of 63 North Common Street, as confirmed by the Essex County District Attorney’s office.
Struck by a 2014 Dodge flatbed truck in the blush of morning light, the woman, whose name has yet to touch the ears of the public out of respect for her family, was pronounced dead at the scene—a conclusive end to what began as just another day, according to Boston 25 News. The driver's fate, tangled in potential legal outcomes, remains unspoken by the district attorney's office, leaving a weight of unanswered questions regarding accountability.
Authorities have opened an exhaustive inquiry into the circumstances leading to the woman's death. Tasked with threading together the narratives of machinery and mortality are the Massachusetts State Police (MSP) Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section, MSP Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Section, and Lynn Police, leaving no stone—or should we say, no piece of asphalt—unturned in their pursuit of clarity and closure.
The community, while waiting for the full light of truth to shine through, remains shrouded in the somber shadow of this calamity, with updates promised as the investigation unfolds, as noted by 7NEWS. No further information has been made available as of yet.
