nvestigators have not decided yet whether to charge the driver they believe struck and killed a bicyclist in Wellesley last week.
No Decision On Charges Yet For Driver In Fatal Wellesley Bike CrashBut sources told WBZ-TV’s I-Team Monday that they are looking very closely at his history.
Alexander Motsenigos, 41, of Wellesley was riding his bike on Weston Road around 2 p.m. Friday when he was hit by a truck.
The truck did not stop and Motsenigos later died.
Police announced Sunday that they had found the truck and the person they believe was driving it at the time of the crash.
Sources told the I-Team they have interviewed the driver, described as a man between 40-and-50 years old with a commercial driver’s license.
His name has not been released, but he was driving the truck for his company at the time of the accident.
When asked why no charges have been filed at this point, sources said the case is ‘very complicated.’ (via)
What the fuck, seriously. This is not ‘very complicated’, this is plane and simple. Why hasn’t this person been charged with a crime? If I ran into the street and beat you to death with a baseball bat then ran off it would be a crime, but if I do it with a car its something you have to ponder over? If they think this is the person who killed Alex Motsenigos, they should charge them with vehicular manslaughter.
Fleeing a scene is usually considered an admission of guilt, at the very least it shows the driver wasn’t even paying attention, at the worst it indicated they know they committed a crime and wanted to flee. This is the worst fear of cyclists, that they can literally be run over and killed and the driver will not even be charged with something.
