Hit-And-Run Scene A Quiet, Tiny One-Way Street

We checked out Herbert Street, where 85-year-old Ed Bozzo was struck in what police called a "heinous" hit-and-run crash.

MELROSE, MA — Herbert Street is a tiny and quiet one-way street, home to a small number of houses and part of St. Mary's (the school and the church.)

It's here where 85-year-old Ed Bozzo was taking his morning walk when he was struck from behind by a car driving the wrong-way down the narrow road. Bozzo suffered serious, life-threatening injuries, police said. The car kept driving.
