SAUGUS — Interim Chief Ronald Giorgetti reports that the Saugus Police are investigating after two pedestrians were struck by a car on Friday night.

At 10:20 p.m. on Friday, Saugus Police responded to the area of the Colonial Traveler Inn on Route 99 for a report of a motor vehicle crash involving two pedestrians. After an initial investigation, police learned that two pedestrians, a 57-year-old woman and an adult man, had been struck by a car while crossing the street.
