The accident occurred at approximately 8:15 this morning near the intersection of Granite and Hancock streets.

 

Several blocks of Hancock Street were then closed for several hours while police conducted a post accident investigation. 

 

At the time Quincy Quarry went to press on this tragic story, it had no word as to where and perhaps what may have happened with the police detail assumed to be working the construction site.

 

The scene of this accident was within a block or so of a pedestrian fatality earlier this year.
