80-Year-Old Woman Dies After Hit By Car In Cambridge Parking Lot

CAMBRIDGE, MA — An 80-year-old woman pushing a wheeled walker was killed in the parking lot of a Cambridge Housing Authority building in what police believe to be a hit and run.

Around 12:30 p.m. someone called Cambridge Police to report an older woman was hit by a car in the parking lot near 150 Erie St in Cambridgeport. When police got there, they found the woman, who appeared to be pushing a wheeled walker at the time she was hit by a car. She was rushed to Cambridge Hospital with serious injuries, but was later pronounced dead.

The Middlesex District Attorney's office said they will release the name of the woman once, her family has been notified.

Police said they are reviewing surveillance camera footage from properties near where the crash happened on Erie Street, and are now looking for a white infinity SUV.

Erie Street was closed earlier from Pearl to Sidney streets as police investigated. Police and the DA's office and State Police are all actively investigating, according to the DA's office.

The crash happened near or in the driveway of 150 Erie Street, which is part of the Cambridge Housing authority's L. B. Johnson Apartments.
