HIT WOMAN IN MAHONEY CIRCLE
A woman staying at a local hotel was seriously injured when a man allegedly driving drunk plowed over her while she was in a crosswalk on Mahoney Circle on Jan. 19.
Around 7:23 p.m., the woman had been crossing in the circle on the cross walk when the man blew through a light and ran her over – seriously injuring her arm. The woman, who was staying at a local hotel, was taken to MGH in Boston for treatment. She was later released and her injuries were not life-threating.
The man, however, fled the scene.
Police had a plate number to go on, and gave chase.
At North Shore and Wolcott roads, they encountered a driver who flagged them down, saying a man had just hit his car and fled.
Finally police arrived at the man’s residence and moved in for an investigation.
Before they could get to the door, he came out and said he was sorry and hadn’t meant to hit the woman at the circle.
He was determined to be intoxicated after an investigation.
Juan Botero-Berrio, 33, of 21 Highland St., was charged with operating under the influence of liquor with serious injury, unlicensed operation, failure to stop for a pedestrian, leaving the scene of personal injury and two counts of leaving the scene of property damage.
