Pawtucket man critical after being struck by car

PAWTUCKET -- The police this morning released the name of a 46-year-old city man who was struck yesterday by a car as he attempted to cross Newport Avenue.

Edward Bouvier, of 385 Woodhaven Rd. in Pawtucket, remains in critical condition this morning, according to a statement issued by Maj. John J. Whiting.

The police were called to 642 Newport Ave. around 4:45 p.m. yesterday, according to the department. Bouvier had been struck by a vehicle heading south, driven by Harry Sioras, of 149 Hyde Ave. in Pawtucket, according to Whiting.

The accident remains under investigation. Speed does not appear to be a factor, and the police say they have no witnesses reported.

“There have been no charges lodged against the driver at this time pending the outcome of the investigation,” Whiting said in the statement.
