BROCKTON, Mass. — Authorities have identified the woman who was struck and killed by a minivan in Brockton on Tuesday morning.
Officers responding to a report of a crash involving a pedestrian in the area of North Main and Battles streets just before 6:30 a.m. found a woman seriously injured in the roadway, according to Plymouth District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz.
The woman, who Cruz’s office identified as 37-year-old Brockton resident Bettie Etienne, was rushed to Good Samaritan Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
A preliminary investigation revealed that Etienne was crossing the street when she was struck by a 20-year-old man driving a Dodge Caravan, according to Cruz’s office.
“Video surveillance shows that the traffic light was green for traffic to proceed along North Main Street, and a red hand was illuminated on the pedestrian control signal,” Cruz’s office said in a statement.
The driver remained at the scene of the crash. Charges haven’t been filed.
Massachusetts State Police detectives assigned to Cruz’s office are assisting Brockton police with an investigation.
