Detectives Investigate Fatal Pedestrian Crash in Burke
West Springfield Police District – Detectives from our Crash Reconstruction Unit (CRU) are investigating a pedestrian fatality that occurred yesterday in Burke.
On December 4, at 6:15 p.m., officers responded to the intersection of Old Keene Mill Road and Sydenstricker Road in Burke for a crash involving a pedestrian.
Preliminarily, CRU detectives determined that a 14-year-old pedestrian attempted to cross Old Keene Mill Road and walked into the westbound lanes. The driver of a Ford Fusion struck the pedestrian while traveling westbound on Old Keene Mill Road. The juvenile was transported to the hospital in life-threatening condition and was pronounced deceased from injuries sustained from the crash later that day. The driver of the Ford Fusion remained on scene.
Alcohol and speed do not appear to be factors for the driver. The circumstances surrounding the crash are still being investigated.
