« Conn. drunken driver billed for utility pole damage | Today | 2 hurt in crash on Pontiac Ave., Cranston/ Photo » January 10, 2008Providence man killed trying to cross Route 95A 36-year-old Providence man was killed last night when he tried to cross Route 95 on foot. Darren Mann was apparently involved in an accident on Route 2 in Warwick that left his car disabled, according to State Police Lt. Eric LaRiviere. Mann headed toward Route 95, near Exit 8 at about 10:40 p.m. yesterday. He crossed both southbound lanes and made it to the grassy median, LaRiviere said. But when Mann tried to cross the northbound lanes, he was struck by two vehicles. LaRiviere said police do not know why Mann was heading toward Route 95 and at this time, it does not appear that any alcohol or drugs played a role in the accident. Mann's body was taken to the state medical examiners' office. There were no other injuries, and the drivers of the two vehicles that struck Mann will not face any charges. Route 95 was shut down for several hours while the scene was examined. The accident is still under investigation. -- projo.com staff writer Brandie M. Jefferson Posted by Brandie Jefferson CommentsJB | January 10, 2008 9:02 AM link There is only one possible reason I can think of for that man to have gone up to Rt. 95. If he had been involved in a hit and run and the other driver took off for Rt. 95, he might have run up there to try to get his plate number or something before he got away. If you are familiar with the area, there is no other reason for him to have gone up there that makes sense. I can't imagine he would just leave his car there and try to walk home via the freeway.
