BOSTON (AP) — A Boston man has been arraigned on charges he struck a Department of Transportation worker in a construction zone on a Massachusetts highway, seriously injuring him.
The Suffolk district attorney's office says Carlos Gonzalez appeared in court Monday on charges of negligent operation of a vehicle under the influence of alcohol causing serious injury and related crimes.
State police say the 59-year-old Gonzalez was traveling on Route 90 at about 1 a.m. Monday when he struck a MassDOT employee in Boston. Police say Gonzalez failed to stop after the accident but was located a short time later.
The 60-year-old MassDOT employee was taken to Boston Medical Center with serious injuries.
Gonzalez was held on $25,000 bail. He's due back in court July 22.
Gonzalez's attorney declined to comment.
