CONCORD, NH — Concord police released the names of a victim of a fatal crash two weeks ago as well as the driver involved on Friday.

Ewa Martel, 75, of Concord, was struck and killed while walking on North State Street on Dec. 2 in the Hood plant and Dolan Street area of the city. The crash was reported around 10:45 a.m., with police stating Martel appeared to have been thrown about 30 feet. She sustained skull and hip fractures during the crash. An obituary for Martel does not appear to have been posted online yet.
