Tragedy on Cherokee Street

A heartbreaking tragedy struck New Bedford when a young boy was fatally struck by a vehicle while biking on Cherokee Street. The driver stayed at the scene and is cooperating with authorities, though no charges have been filed yet. Investigators are reviewing nearby surveillance footage to piece together what happened. The boy’s father, a correctional officer at the Bristol County House of Corrections since 2020, is now coping with unimaginable loss. In response, a colleague launched a GoFundMe page that has already raised nearly $60,000 — a powerful testament to community love in the face of profound sorrow.
