A 35-year-old man is now facing criminal charges in connection with a crash where prosecutors say he killed a woman walking her bike across the road last summer, Middlesex County District Attorney Marian Ryan’s office said in a statement.
Joshua Quimby, of Billerica, faces a single charge of motor vehicle homicide by negligent operation in connection with the crash on July 20, 2024 on Concord Road in Bedford. The criminal complaint charging Quimby was issued Wednesday after a clerk magistrate determined there was probable cause to charge him, Ryan and Bedford Police Chief John Fisher said in the statement.
On July 20 at around 3:36 p.m., Quimby was driving a Volkswagen GTI when prosecutors say he hit Tamar Vishlitzky, 53 of Concord, as she walked her bike across the road in a crosswalk near a bike path intersection.
After the crash, Quimby was cited for operating a vehicle with a suspended license, a crosswalk violation and electronic device use while operating a motor vehicle, according to the statement.
Quimby will be arraigned on the motor vehicle homicide charge on Aug. 15, 2025.
