Massachusetts: Two retired Burlington police officers were hit by a 75-year-old driver and sent one of them airborne while working a construction detail on Wednesday. Police said a 75-year-old Reading man was trying to park when he accidentally hit the gas pedal. Police said the vehicle jumped the curb and struck the officers, causing one officer to go airborne and land on top of the SUV. The man’s Chevy Equinox hit former Burlington Police Sgt. Timothy Kirchner, who retired in June after 32 years in the department and happens to be the deputy chief’s brother. According the Burlington police, Kirchner remains with the department as a reserve officer following his retirement. Kirchner was taken to Lahey Hospital and Medical Center with serious arm, elbow and leg injuries. The second officer had cuts and scrapes, but was not seriously hurt.
