NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Police are investigating a hit-and-run on West Main Street that injured a man who was at the side of the road.
The accident occurred at about 1:30 Wednesday afternoon when police responded to a report of a pedestrian struck near Hill Side Cemetery, around 295 West Main St.
"We have not identified the vehicle at this time but we are working on it," Sgt. James Burdick said at the scene.
Burdick said the man was shoveling near the edge of the roadway and was hit by a westbound car.
According to scanner reports, the vehicle was described as a small, dark-colored car with damage on its right side.
Burdick said police are trying to identify the make, model and year of the vehicle.
"We are going to pick up every one of these tiny pieces of car left behind and it is going to be like a giant jigsaw puzzle," he said, looking over debris left by the vehicle. "We will put it all together and find the make, model and year of the car and we go from there."
Burdick said the victim was first transported to Berkshire Medical Center's North Adams campus and then by ambulance to the main hospital in Pittsfield.
