STOCKBRIDGE, Mass. — A man using a scooter was struck and killed Saturday by a hit-and-run driver.
The victim, whose name has not been released, was found lying on the side of road nearly mile marker 4.1 on Route 102. A motorist driving by called 911 at 6:44 a.m. to report seeing someone on the road.
Emergency responders found him unresponsive and he was pronounced dead shortly after by a paramedic from Lee Ambulance.
Based on evidence recovered from the scene, including parts of a car, it appears this is a hit and run incident, according to the Berkshire District Attorney's Office. Evidence collection thus far shows the victim was riding an electric scooter when he was struck by a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle that struck the victim fled from the scene.
Immediate emergency response included the Stockbridge Police Department; Stockbridge Fire and emergency medical service and Lee Ambulance. State Police investigators and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner also responded.
