EAST BROOKFIELD, Mass. — In East Brookfield on Oct. 29, 2017, a driver fatally struck 54-year-old Lisa Germain.
Germain was crossing in front of then-Dunny’s Tavern around 6 p.m. when a driver heading westbound hit her.
Six years later, Paradis said she still doesn’t know anything about the driver who hit her mother – who worked as a nurse for two decades.
Due to the rain, surveillance video quality was poor – nearby cameras switched to infrared and lost clarity. FBI enhancement of the video didn’t help.
Paradis said she believes someone accidentally hit her mom, but adds: “Leaving was a choice.”
Hit and run crashes can have devastating consequences. When these cases go unsolved, families and loved ones are left with so many questions on top of the void of a life taken too soon. How are these cases treated and tracked in Massachusetts after several months or even years have passed?
25 Investigates set out with that question and got some surprising answers. Kerry Kavanaugh reports why many cases are going untracked and unchecked Thursday night on Boston 25 News at 10:30pm.”
