Procopio said Klem was driving a 2019 Ford F-150 pickup truck and appeared to hit a vehicle driven by Erin Bertrand, 35, of Hanover, at about 3 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 12, on Route 3 in Weymouth.
Bertrand, driving a 2015 Honda Pilot, was pushed off the road and into the wood line. Klem did not stop, Procopio said.
