CHICOPEE, Mass. - Another person has died after being hit by a car on Chicopee street Thursday. This is the third deadly pedestrian accident on Chicopee street since November.

"Yesterday afternoon, WESTCOMM regional dispatch got a couple 911 calls reporting a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian," said Chicopee Police Department Public Information Officer Travis Odiorne. "Our officers responded and they located the male party on the ground. They rendered aid to him. The party was eventually transported to the hospital by the medics and he succumbed to his injuries at the hospital."

Odiorne said the driver of the vehicle in Thursday’s crash did stay at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation. Chicopee Mayor John Vieau said the city has been working with MassDOT to design more traffic control devices on busier roads.

"On Chicopee Street, the road is pretty wide," Vieau said. "They're looking at potentially putting in an island in the middle where a person would have a safety area to stop halfway through. We're talking about the rapid flasher beacons."

Vieau said the construction process has already started on Front Street by city hall, but still urges people to use caution before crossing the street.

"You'll see that there's two yellow polls," Vieau said. "But we haven't been able to get the rest of the hardware to put up the rapid flasher beacon, and I don't want people to get a false hope either. You hit a button and the light starts flashing. It doesn't mean the vehicle's stopping."

The Chicopee Police Department, as well as Vieau, asked that all drivers make sure to yield to pedestrians when they are stationed by a crosswalk. They also advise pedestrians to use their crosswalks, wear bright clothing and make eye contact with drivers before crossing the street.
