PORTLAND — A Falmouth woman who was struck by a car Dec. 17 died as a result of her injuries.

Lee Whittier, 82, was hit by a sport utility vehicle near the Portland police station on Middle Street at approximately 5:20 p.m. She was taken to Maine Medical Center for treatment, where she later died from her injuries.

Police identified the driver of the car as Tori Stewart, 36, of Yarmouth.

Middle Street, between Franklin Street and Pearl Street, was closed to traffic for approximately two hours after the accident.

Portland Police Lt. James Sweatt on Monday said the investigation was continuing and Steward has not been charged.

“There is nothing further to report at this time,” Sweatt said.   

Falmouth Police Lt. John Kilbride said his department has had no involvement in the case.

Portland police said visibility was poor because it was dark and rainy at the time. Police also said Whittier was not in a marked crosswalk when she was crossing from Middle to Church street.

Whittier is survived by her husband Charles, three sons, and seven grandchildren.

Anyone with additional information on the crash is asked to call the Portland Police Traffic Division at 874-8532.
