A Grammy-nominated musician was struck and killed by a driver with more than 100 arrests and dozens of traffic violations in Rhode Island, police said.
Roderick Macleod, 70, was a member of the band Roomful of Blues in the 1980s and received a Grammy nomination for his work with them. He was inducted into the Rhode Island Music Hall of Fame in 2014, according to local media reports.
Macleod was walking his dogs when he was hit by a car on Saturday, the Hopkinton Police Department said in a news release. The alleged driver was identified by police as as Shannon Godbout. She was 41, CBS Boston reported, and was driving recklessly.
Godbout was allegedly traveling eastbound when she left her lane and struck several objects, including two telephone poles, police said, and Macleod was walking his dogs on the shoulder of the road when he was hit. Photos from the scene show a black vehicle with a destroyed pole.
