Law firm launches investigation and advocates for pedestrians injured in April 1 sidewalk crash

BOSTON, MA – Keches Law Group is representing several individuals and families affected by the serious box truck crash that occurred on Tuesday, April 1, 2025, in Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood. While walking near the intersection of Kneeland Street and Harrison Avenue, multiple pedestrians were struck when a rented Penske box truck veered off the road, jumped the curb, crashed into a building, and flipped onto its side. The resulting chaos left six people seriously injured, including the truck driver.

“We’re deeply saddened by the pain caused to those who were just going about their day,” said Sean Flaherty, Managing Partner at Keches Law Group. “Our firm is committed to securing justice and support for these victims and their loved ones.”

We are committed to standing up for the victims and making sure these accidents are prevented in the future.”
