Neighbors who spoke to NBC10 Boston tell us while they didn't see the crash, they know the intersection to be busy -- and they feel a traffic light is needed.
"It's just awful," one woman said. "Usually we hear more about car accidents there than pedestrians so it's awful to hear that it's a pedestrian"
"There's no pedestrian light over there, even for cars it's not easy because sometimes it's very busy, it's tough to make that turn," Zia Khursheed said.
