On Friday, January 12, at approximately 8:15 p.m., Worcester Police responded to a report of a car and pedestrian accident in the area of 77 Highland Street.

Investigators were told that the car was traveling westbound on Highland Street when it hit the woman with the front of the vehicle. The pedestrian was walking from the south side of Highland Street to the north side of Highland Street.
The impact caused the pedestrian to roll up onto the hood and then into the windshield. The woman then fell to the ground and came to rest of the driver’s side of the Buick.
The driver immediately stopped, called the police and tended to the woman.
Investigators noted that the weather conditions and visibility were poor with rainy conditions. Investigators discovered that the victim was not in a marked crosswalk.
