                              South End resident was struck and killed by a 
                              pick-up truck being driven the wrong way down the 
                              driveway in front of the bank of stores along 
                              Tremont Street between East Berkeley and Herald 
                              streets around 10:50 a.m. Aug. 3. Raul Matos, 73, 
                              of Shawmut Avenue, died soon after being struck by 
                              the 1994 black Ford Ranger, near the intersection 
                              of East Berkeley and Tremont streets. The driver, 
                              whose name has not been released, was not arrested 
                              and has not been charged with a crime. 
                              <BR><BR>“Homicide is working with accident 
                              reconstruction specialists to determine the facts 
                              and circumstances surrounding this incident and 
                              what, if any, charges will be sought against the 
                              operator of the vehicle,” Elaine Driscoll, Boston 
                              Police Department spokeswoman, said.<BR>The 
                              downtown lane of Tremont Street was closed for 
                              hours Friday as homicide investigators collected 
                              evidence from the scene. <BR><BR>“That was just a 
                              freak thing,” said Steve Coombs, part owner of 
                              Community Bicycle Supply. The accident took place 
                              in front of Coombs’s store. He said he heard the 
                              pick-up truck hit the other cars and came running 
                              out of his store to see the truck come to a stop 
                              when it plowed into a gravel pile near an NSTAR 
                              construction site on Tremont Street. He said he 
                              did not see the truck hit Matos. <BR><BR>According 
                              to Coombs and other witnesses who also ran out of 
                              the bicycle shop when they heard the truck collide 
                              with other cars, the Ford Ranger was traveling the 
                              wrong way down the driveway, pinballing off cars 
                              parked in the driveway. The police report said 
                              that the Ranger collided with Matos, who was found 
                              by police lying face down in front of 482 Tremont 
                              St. Driscoll said that it appeared that Matos was 
                              actually on the sidewalk at the time he was 
                              struck. Witnesses told South End News that the 
                              truck hit Matos from behind, who was either 
                              walking or riding his bicycle, and dragged the 
                              bicycle several feet.<BR><BR>Kaluwa Kieta, who was 
                              inside Community Bicycle at the time of the 
                              incident, ran outside after hearing the truck 
                              colliding with the parked cars. Once on the 
                              street, she said, she saw Matos lying 25 feet from 
                              his bicycle, bleeding from a gash to his head. She 
                              checked him for a pulse, found it briefly, but it 
                              faded as Matos closed his eyes, she said. Matos 
                              was transported to Boston Medical Center, where he 
                              was pronounced dead at 11:25 a.m., according to 
                              the police report. <BR><BR>Another witness, Tee 
                              Kieta, said she noticed the truck first traveling 
                              on Tremont Street towards downtown, driving past 
                              the NSTAR construction site in the downtown-bound 
                              lane at the corner of Tremont and East Berkeley 
                              streets. At some point, the truck turned the wrong 
                              way down the driveway in front of the bank of 
                              shops on the block between East Berkeley and 
                              Herald streets. The driver hit two parked cars in 
                              the driveway; the front, driver’s side wheel and 
                              part of its front axle came off the second car. 
                              The force of the collision also pushed the rear 
                              end of the second car up and onto the hood of the 
                              car parked behind it.<BR><BR>The truck also 
                              clipped a third car that was driving the correct 
                              way down the driveway, forcing the driver of that 
                              car to veer left onto and over the median 
                              separating Tremont Street from the driveway in an 
                              effort to get out of the truck’s path. It is 
                              unclear from the police report and from witness 
                              accounts whether the woman hit the other cars or 
                              the victim first. <BR><BR>Coombs said that two 
                              police officers on detail at the construction site 
                              “had to jump out of the way of the truck,” as the 
                              pick up came barreling toward them. The truck then 
                              slammed into a three-foot pile of gravel from the 
                              construction site, in the downtown-bound lane of 
                              Tremont Street.<BR><BR>“I heard a big crash and 
                              bang, and the truck went slamming into the pile,” 
                              Coombs said. <BR><BR>Tee Kieta said that the woman 
                              got out of the car and told police that the truck 
                              wouldn’t stop. “She said she couldn’t stop the 
                              truck,” she said, adding at the woman said, “Oh my
