Marshall Mac, the 72-year-old Vietnam veteran who was severely injured in a hit-and-run crash died on April 29 after failing to recover from injuries sustained in the incident.

Mac was struck by a vehicle on McGrath Highway in Somerville on April 12. The vehicle did not stop after striking Mac and fled the scene on McGrath Highway towards Cambridge.

At the time he was hit, Mac was coming from the nearby Stop & Shop supermarket, carrying several bags of groceries.

Authorities immediately launched an area-wide search for the driver of the 2015 Ford Transit Connect that had struck Mac. The 64-year-old driver of the vehicle turned himself in to Somerville Police on April 15. The as of yet unidentified driver is scheduled to appear in court on a charge of leaving the scene of a crash that caused personal injury.

Mac’s son told the media that his father spent six years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam.

A GoFundMe fundraiser has been established to help with the Mac family’s funereal and other expenses.
