Car Hits Pedestrian On Route 62 In Wilmington

WILMINGTON, MA -- A woman was reportedly unconscious after being hit by a car while crossing Route 62 Monday afternoon. The accident was reported on social media shortly after Wilmington Police had posted a warning to drivers about poor rush hour conditions thanks to wet weather and the early sunset.

First responders requested a helicopter to transport the victim to a Boston hospital, but that request was denied because of the weather. The victim is being transported by ambulance to Mass General Hospital.

Wilmington Police said the northbound side of Main Street on Route 62 was closed for a "serious motor vehicle crash" and were asking drivers to avoid the area.
