FOURTEEN YEARS AGO TODAY
OCTOBER 21, 2003, THE SON OF
STATE REP PAUL J. DONATO WAS
allegedly facing CHARGES OF  CLASS D CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE POSSESSION WHEN HE ALLEGEDLY REAR-ENDED A CAR KILLING A 47 YEAR OLD WOMAN.

We pray for the spirit of that woman and we give Mr. Donato Jr. the benefit of the doubt.


But that tragic incident RE-EMPHASIZES the poor judgment of the Medford Police Chief who needs to resign.

Hull woman dies in car-pickup crash on Pike

A 47-year-old Hull woman died yesterday shortly after her car inexplicably stopped in a travel lane on the Massachusetts Turnpike and was rear-ended by a pickup.
Julie Corcoran, a meter reader for NStar, was pronounced dead at Saint Elizabeth's Medical Center in Brighton, State Police said.
The 37-year-old driver of the truck, Paul Donato Jr., son of state Representative Paul J. Donato of Medford, is facing charges for driving with an out-of-class license and possession of a Class D controlled substance.
The woman's cause of death was unknown pending an autopsy, and authorities have not ruled out that she was medically incapacitated prior to being hit.
Corcoran's father, Michael Corcoran of Braintree, said he believes, based on what troopers told him at the hospital, that her car may have broken down or run out of gas.
