Pedestrian Fatally Struck in Brockton’s Tuesday Night Accident
A tragic incident occurred Tuesday night when a car fatally struck a 57-year-old pedestrian in Brockton, according to a statement from the Plymouth County District Attorney’s office. The pedestrian, identified as Domingos Gomes of New Bedford, was hit at the intersection of North Quincy and Hovenden Streets around 8:40 p.m.
After receiving reports of the accident, police and emergency responders quickly arrived on the scene. Gomes was immediately transported to Brockton Hospital, where he sadly succumbed to his injuries, the DA’s office confirmed. The driver involved in the incident remained at the scene and made the 911 call reporting the accident.
The investigation into the crash is still ongoing. Authorities are working to determine the cause of the accident and whether any traffic violations or negligence contributed to the fatal collision. The DA’s office is reviewing all available evidence, including witness statements and traffic surveillance footage, to assess potential legal repercussions.
In cases like this, the family of a victim may be entitled to various forms of compensation. Wrongful death claims can help recover damages such as funeral expenses, medical bills incurred before the victim’s passing, and lost wages that the deceased may have contributed to their family.
