A woman was killed by a driver who had a suspended license and may have been on his phone around the time of the crash in Bedford, Massachusetts, Saturday, authorities said.
The woman, a 53-year-old from Concord, was walking her bicycle across Concord Street where it intersects with the Reformatory Bike Path when she was hit by a Volkswagen GTI about 3:36 p.m., according to the Middlesex District Attorney's Office and Bedford police. The car's driver, a 34-year-old man from Billerica, stayed at the scene.
