Looks like the dude had some sort of recent involvement with the Apple store. He was a “professional” who ”supported recent construction,” according to Apple.

A quick drive-by on some news sites didn't surface much, so possibly someone disgruntled over some kind of work engagement with Apple? Specifically around store construction?

I believe @Cmaier is referring to the fatality. He was a worker involved in recent construction at this Apple location. The driver is claiming his foot got stuck on the gas pedal. He's being held on $100K bond. No known connection with Apple and Breathalyzer rules out DUI.

The confusion seems to have arisen because the first name of one guy is "Bradley" and the last name of the other guy is also "Bradley."

Ah, gotcha, thanks for the extra info and clarification.

"...Rein told him [state trooper] he was at Derby Street Shops to repair a lens in his eyeglasses, which he was not wearing at the time of the crash."

That's not good.

While tragic, I glanced twice thinking there was a second event. Hingham (where this took place) is not Boston, actually it is 23 miles and about two hours in traffic south of Boston. Just saying...

P.S. I don't know why it is with the regional dialect but its pronounced Hing-um, like Wind-um and Need-um. However it is just like Bostonians to throw people off, so we have to pronounce at least one town with a ham suffix differently like Framing-ham.
