A tragic incident unfolded in Milton on Sunday night, resulting in a Fatal Milton hit-and-run that left one woman dead and a community in shock. Wallace Wilson, a 65-year-old man from Dorchester, now faces serious charges after allegedly hitting and killing a pedestrian while under the influence of alcohol.

According to officials, Wilson has been charged with motor vehicle homicide while operating under the influence, negligence, and leaving the scene of personal injury and death. These charges were announced by Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey on Monday. The incident occurred around 6 p.m. near 164 Reedsdale Road in Milton, where 68-year-old Donna Clarke was struck and left severely injured.

Witnesses report that Clarke was found lying in the street and was later pronounced dead at a nearby hospital. The circumstances surrounding the incident raise serious concerns, particularly regarding the actions of the driver involved. Approximately 20 minutes after the collision, Milton police made contact with the driver of a damaged Toyota SUV. Reports indicate that Wilson allegedly made statements during the encounter that linked him directly to the hit-and-run incident.

On Monday, Wilson appeared in court, where he pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. After the hearing, he was released on bail, but he is scheduled to return to court on November 26 for a probable cause hearing. The ongoing investigation into this incident highlights the grave consequences of impaired driving and the urgent need for accountability in such cases.
