PORT CLYDE, Maine - The family of a Massachusetts boy who was struck and killed by a car at the Port Clyde ferry dock is filing a wrongful death suit against the driver, the ferry company and the owners of the dock.
Nine-year-old Dylan Gold died in the fatal crash on Aug 11, 2013. The Portland Press Herald reportsthat Gold's parents, Allison and Howard, are accusing 63-year-old driver Cheryl Torgerson of New York City of negligence for crashing into a building and then into six parked cars before hitting Allison and her two sons.
Knox County's district attorney reviewed the case and did not bring criminal charges against Torgerson or anyone else. Allison Gold was hospitalized for more than a week and her other son was in the hospital for two days.
