Two pedestrians are in critical condition after being struck by a car in a hit-and-run crash outside Boston Medical Center Monday night, according to Boston police.
Officers were called to the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Albany Street just after 8:45 p.m. for a report that two people had been hit by a car, a Boston police spokesperson said. At the scene, they found a man and a woman, both of whom had life-threatening injuries.
Both were taken to a hospital for treatment. The spokesperson described the crash as a hit-and-run, and said that no arrests had been made as of Monday night.
Homicide detectives were requested and responded to the scene, the spokesperson said. Investigators are still investigating the crash.
“No Kings” rallies are scheduled in Boston and across Massachusetts on Saturday and are expected to draw large crowds, organizers said.
Organized by the ACLU of Massachusetts, Indivisible Mass Coalition, and Mass 50501, the event is a mass mobilization in protest of the Trump administration.
The No Kings theme was created by the 50501 Movement, a national movement made up of Americans who stand for democracy and against what they call the authoritarian actions of the Trump administration. The name 50501 stands for 50 states, 50 protests, one movement.
“The Trump administration is trying to shred the Constitution; the No Kings movement is an unequivocal statement that we, the people, will not let that happen. This will be the third global No Kings Day, and it’s not just about protesting what’s wrong—it’s about building something better. We intend to show our power, build our power, and power a democracy that advances freedom, equality, justice, and dignity for all,” organizers wrote.
