Gordon S Wood, a Pulitzer prize-winning author and historian, was killed on Sunday when he was struck by a car in a supermarket parking lot in Rhode Island.
Wood, 92, won the Pulitzer in 1993 in the history category for The Radicalism of the American Revolution, a landmark tome that advanced the theory of the break with Britain being at least as much of an internal social and political transformation as a desire to be rid of colonial masters.
According to East Providence police, as reported by the news outlet golocalprov.com, Wood was hit by a car as he crossed the supermarket’s parking lot. The driver remained at the scene and was cooperative, police said.
Police said Wood was brought to Rhode Island hospital with “serious injuries”, from which he later died.
