STOCKBRIDGE, Mass. — A man using a scooter was struck and killed Saturday by a hit-and-run driver.

The victim, whose name has not been released, was found lying on the side of road nearly mile marker 4.1 on Route 102. A motorist driving by called 911 at 6:44 a.m. to report seeing someone on the road.

Emergency responders found him unresponsive and he was pronounced dead shortly after by a paramedic from Lee Ambulance.

Based on evidence recovered from the scene, including parts of a car, it appears this is a hit and run incident, according to the Berkshire District Attorney's Office. Evidence collection thus far shows the victim was riding an electric scooter when he was struck by a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle that struck the victim fled from the scene.

Immediate emergency response included the Stockbridge Police Department; Stockbridge Fire and emergency medical service and Lee Ambulance. State Police investigators and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner also responded.

Berkshire Green Drinks: Stream Restoration on the Konkapot River

10:11AM / Friday, January 09, 2026

SHEFFIELD, Mass. — Berkshire Environmental Action Team welcomes the first Green Drinks speaker of 2026, Zach Adams of Trout Unlimited.

Adams will share about this summer's stream restoration project on the Konkapot River on Jan. 14.

This project both created habitat in the Konkapot River and stabilized the stream bank to prevent Hartsville-Mill River Road from washing out in the next 5 years. This project required 80+ trees with root wads, tons of boulders, and a lot of adaptability. Adams will share photos and stories about this fairly unique project in Massachusetts. Audience members will have an opportunity to ask questions after the presentation.

This free hybrid event will take place online via Zoom and in person at Dewey Hall, 91 Main Street, Sheffield. The in-person social gathering will begin around 5:30 PM; the presentation and Zoom meeting will start at 6:00 PM.

Zach Adams is a writer, photographer, avid outdoorsman, and lifelong conservationist. He holds a Bachelor's of Science from Juniata College and has worked and studied from the Chesapeake Bay to the Adirondacks. Adams has lived along the banks of the Housatonic River for his entire career, and is passionate about conservation in the Berkshires where he lives with his wife Evelyn and his German Shorthaired Pointer, Millie. He now works for Trout Unlimited, managing stream restoration projects in Berkshire County. You can find him chasing brook trout in the hills, walking behind his bird dog, or scratching his head over a rare bird identification.

Adams writes a sporting column for the Berkshire Eagle, has publications in multiple magazines, and is the author of the field guide Birds of New England.
