The roads were bad this
The roads were bad this afternoon. Lots of people tailgaiting when others were driving 5-10mph to avoid sliding all over the road. I hope he makes it through in the end.
Deceased
WHDH is now reporting the person (they said a female) is deceased.

New England Baptist Hospital employee... Sunset Street is very unsafe regardless of weather conditions or time of day..... For is employees that park almos directly across from sunset Street is a nightmare due to the unsafe area and Street
Unsafe because of the sharp downhill?
or something else? It looks like a quiet residential street without much traffic.
Concerned resident
I second Ron's comment, are you just referring to the hill? I live in the area and many recent events are leading me to believe its not safe in general, was curious if you were also thinking that...
It's as good a time as any to
It's as good a time as any to remind everyone that it's difficult to stop when it's snowy/icy... even with a skilled driver going at a reasonable speed. Every time I drive in snowstorms, there's way too many pedestrians darting out in front of cars, cars pulling out of side streets in front of oncoming traffic, parking spaces, etc. Give everyone a little extra space.
She was on the sidewalk
According to the NBC article Adam linked to, the young woman was on the sidewalk.
