First they let the cities become paralyzed due to their incompetence. Now they're killing people outright. Two Southern New Englanders killed in a 24 hour period. We're paying for this storm with our lives.

Oh grow up. Accidents happen. Yeah, it's sad that this guy was killed, but at 5:30 am it's dark. The lighting in that area is bad. The sidewalks probably weren't shoveled, as usual. He probably had to walk in the streets. The the plow driver didn't see him. It's not like he thought the guy was target practice. It's no wonder I moved from the area.

My thoughts are with Raymond and Rita from Blackstone also. It is a sad day. Please shovel your sidewalks. It only take a couple of extra minutes.

I actually agree with bob to some degree. The state of Rhode Island should take more responsability towards things like a snow storm. Don Carceri is no exception. He is already playing the blame game saying he wasn't even in the country when all this happened. I'm sorry that just doesn't fly. How come the state wasn't prepared for something like this in advanced? How come there was no contingency plan? Why didn't anyone in government know what was going on? Our state needs someone to blame and I feel the person responsible is Don Carceri and im sorry he needs to start taking some responsability.

Isn't there an ordinance that both businesses and residents MUST shovel their sidewalks within so many hours of snowfall??

Perhaps the person/company responsible should share responisibility with the Tow Truck driver for this man's death!

Being a driver in the city of Providence I can tell you how bad people drive on a regular sunny afternoon. Most of them feeling entitled to do what they want to do because they feel they are better then everyone else - and I'm talking in regard to other motorists.
God forbid is you're a pedestrian - then you're a nobody!
Patrick's comment kinda revererates what I feel is lacking for a lot of people in this state - education. They are totally ignorant!
Anyway one less ignorant person in this state is moving in the right direction!!!

I cannot believe the condition in the Woonsocket area a week after a snow storm hit the area. I have seen very ,very few sidewalks cleared for pedestrians and have thought since Friday that someone would be hit since they have to walk in the street just to get around.

The city has a responsibility to clear sidewalks and this issue should be looked at immediately before anyone else gets hit.

I lived in Woonsocket all my life and I have to say I think it is crazy that the city doesn't make sure that all the sidewalks get shoveled or plowed. I have seen small children walking to school in the streets, and adults as well. The city should make property owners clear their sidewalks or impose fines for those that don't. We recently moved to western, ma and everyone does their sidewalks and the city takes great care of the remaining sidewalks fast, mayor Menard should be held responsible for this and should be ashamed of herself. She cares about planting her precious flowers but not about protecting pedestrians in the winter.
