The man was expected to be arraigned in Stoughton District Court on Wednesday, according to David Procopio, a spokesman for state police.Authorities were called to the highway near the I-93 exit around 10:25 p.m. for a report of a pedestrian struck, Procopio said in an email. It was via investigation that police determined the woman was struck as a result of a domestic incident.
The woman, who was taken to Boston Medical Center, was conscious and alert when emergency personnel responded to the scene. Her injuries are believed to be serious but nonlife-threatening, Procopio said.
