Man Struck And Killed In Worcester Has Been Identified

WORCESTER, MA—A man who was killed after being struck by a car on Lincoln Street last Thursday morning has been identified.

Paul Towle, 58, from Worcester, was pronounced dead at the hospital after injuries he sustained when he was hit by a vehicle on Oct. 26.

Police said around 6:14 a.m. they were called to 580 Lincoln St., where the man had just been hit. Firefighters performed CPR on the pedestrian and he was quickly brought to a nearby hospital.

The Jeep Cherokee that hit the man had been headed west on Lincoln Street and Towle tried to cross Lincoln from the south side heading north, and wasn't in a marked crosswalk and wore dark clothing. The Jeep struck him with the front right side bumper. The driver stayed at the scene, and a reconstruction crew was called in to investigate.
