A not guilty plea was entered Wednesday by a man accused of striking and killing a bicyclist along Route 3A.
The Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office says that a criminal summons out of Hingham District Court was issued charging 94-year-old Louis Bournazos with one count each of Motor Vehicle Homicide by Negligent Operation, Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle and a Marked Lanes Violation.
On the evening of July 24th Scituate Police received several 911 calls reporting that a man was unresponsive in the roadway in the area of 109 Chief Justice Cushing Highway.
The victim, identified as 67-year-old Howard Colby, was transported to South Shore Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
An investigation determined that Colby was bicycling along the side of Route 3A outside the fogline, between the fogline and the grass when he was struck from behind by a 2001 Mercury Marquis being driven by Bournazos.
The DA’s office says Bournazos stopped at the scene upon impact and there was damage to the front bumper area and windshield.
He was transported to South Shore Hospital for evaluation.
Bournazos was given bail warning and ordered not to drive during the pendency of the case and is scheduled to appear in court on November 30.
