On Friday, June 29, at approximately 9:48 p.m., Worcester Police responded to the area of 165 Chandler Street for a report of a motor vehicle and pedestrian accident. Arriving officers determined that the Crash Reconstruction Unit would be required to respond to conduct an investigation.
Officers saw a 37-year-old man suffering from facial injuries. The pedestrian was treated at the scene by Worcester EMS and members of the Worcester Fire Department. The pedestrian was stabilized at the scene and then transported to a local hospital for treatment.
The preliminary investigation indicates that a 2010 Ford Fusion, being operated by a 51-year-old Worcester resident, was traveling west on Chandler Street, in the far right lane. The pedestrian was crossing Chandler Street from south to the north side when he was struck on the drivers side of the Ford. As a result of the impact the pedestrian vaulted up and into the windshield towards the right side of the vehicle and then rolled off the vehicle and landed in the roadway near the curb.
The pedestrian is currently in fair condition and is being treated for the facial injuries.
