Man In Wheelchair Hit By Dump Truck

CHARLESTOWN (WBZ) ― A man in a wheelchair was hit by a dump truck Thursday morning outside the Sullivan Square T station and dragged about 100 feet.

The unidentified man was trying to cross the intersection of Sullivan Square and Broadway in his electric wheelchair just before 7 a.m. when he was struck.

The truck pushed the man and the chair sideways before finally coming to a stop. The impact left a gouge in the pavement.

The victim was rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. 

Boston police spoke to the driver, who stayed at the scene.  No charges have been filed.
