Pedestrian crash update Saugus police and fire officials have released some additional information on last week’s (June 7) accident involving a pedestrian. Interim Police Chief Ronald Giorgetti tells us that the driver and pedestrian were both from out-of-town in the crash that occurred on Main Street between the rear entrance to Bank of America and the J. Pace parking lot in close proximity to the curve. The injured pedestrian who suffered life-threatening injuries is a 73-year-old Melrose woman. The driver is an 86-year-old Stoneham man. “The crash remains under investigation to determine the cause and whether any civil or criminal charges will be sought,” Chief Giorgetti wrote in an email. “The crash is an open and active investigation, the Department has no additional comments and won’t be releasing any additional information until the conclusion of the investigation,” the chief added. Meanwhile, Saugus fire officials credit Cambridge Fire Department Lt. Mike Francis in responding quickly to helping the pedestrian. “He was heading down Main Street and saw what had happened and lent a hand, which was greatly appreciated,” Saugus Fire Department Deputy Chief Tom D’Eon said. He also noted the quick response time by Saugus Engine 3 with Lt. Bill Cross and Armstrong Ambulance, who arrived on the scene within four minutes. “They did a stellar job,” said D’Eon, who credited the Cambridge firefighter, Lt. Cross and the local ambulance with helping the woman’s chances of survival.
