CANTON, Mass. (AP) - Massachusetts State Police are seeking the public’s help as they investigate a fatal car crash involving an off-duty police officer.
The accident happened Feb. 10 in the late morning in Canton. Police say 74-year-old Ralph Hawkins was struck by a pickup truck as he stood in a neighbor’s driveway. Hawkins was pronounced dead at the hospital.
