NORTH BENNINGTON, Vt. (AP) - Police in North Bennington, Vt., say a man was struck by a car and killed while crossing a road to check his mail.
They said 79-year-old Henry Chalifoux was gravely injured and became unresponsive while en route to the hospital Saturday morning.
The Bennington Banner reports police identified the driver of the car that struck him as 86-year-old Georgianna Carter of North Bennington.
