Driver Strikes and Kills Pedestrian Outside Boston Medical Center

A photograph of a bridge with a bike lane at left, and a man riding a bike toward the camera, and two car lanes to the right. A column of white flexible-post bollards with a handful of orange construction cones occupies the buffer zone between the bike lane and the car lanes. In the distance, at the end of the bridge, are some trees and the tall buildings of the Boston skyline.
