PLYMOUTH – A Duxbury woman has been convicted of charges that she left the scene of a crash where a woman was killed, Plymouth District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz has announced.
Today, a Plymouth County jury deliberated over three days before finding Kristina Blackmore, 43, of Duxbury, guilty of one count each of Leaving the Scene of Injury Causing Death and Motor Vehicle Homicide by Negligent Operation.
On June 9, 2019, at approximately 6:37 pm, the Duxbury Police Department received multiple 911 calls for a pedestrian struck in the area of 641 Washington Street in Duxbury. Police, fire and emergency personnel responded and located a female victim unresponsive on the ground. Medical personnel performed life-saving measures, and the victim was transported to South Shore Hospital for treatment before succumbing to her injuries two days later. She was identified as 46 year-old Andrea Gordon of Duxbury.
After an investigation that involved testimony from witnesses and evidence collected at the scene, police found that the vehicle that struck Gordon was a Dodge Ram pickup truck. Investigators located the Dodge Ram pickup with damage at a home in Duxbury and Massachusetts State Police sought and obtained an arrest warrant for Blackmore.
She is scheduled to be sentenced tomorrow at 10 a.m. in Plymouth Superior Court.
Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague prosecuted the case, which was investigated by Massachusetts State Police Detectives assigned to the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office, Duxbury Police, and Massachusetts State Police Collision, Analysis and Reconstruction Section.
