Elderly Roslindale man struck and killed by car on his own porch

Boston, MA – Egidio Dantuony, a 60-year-old Roslindale resident, died after sustaining severe injuries when a silver sedan went off the road and crashed into his porch Sunday afternoon. Another man who happened to be visiting Dantuony at the time was also injured in this rare type of crash, but he is expected to survive. According to local police, the crash remains under investigation and no charges have been filed against the driver as of yet.

The victim was described as a really good guy, a salt-of-the-earth type of fellow. “He would sit on the porch and just say hi to people as they walk by,” a neighbor said.

Pedestrian killed in a car accident near Boston

by Neumann Law Group

Three people were killed in car accidents in the Boston area over the weekend. Although the whole area was affected by a snowstorm, there are no indications weather played a role in the crashes. Two of the accidents involved cars going into the opposite lane. In Acton, a pedestrian was killed after being hit by a van on Concord Road. The driver initially fled the scene but contacted the police later in the day.

Most motorists are aware of their rights after a car crash, but what about pedestrians? Many would say that a pedestrian injured or killed in a crash automatically qualifies for damages, but that is not so. Such claims follow the same rules as those stemming from a crash between two cars. The victim or their family must prove that the driver was negligent if they want to get damages.
