The rainstorm which poured over parts of Massachusetts of Friday may have been a factor in the single-vehicle crash which killed a prominent Massachusetts lawyer, as well as in the accident that happened in Middleboro earlier that day.
Another fatal car crash occurred only hours earlier, at 5:20 pm on I-495, just north of Exit 3 in Middleboro.
One of the two Mass. drivers involved in the crash was killed. Marvis Gordon, 74, of Sharon sustained fatal injuries, while the other driver, Emily K. Grilli, 19, of Walpole was seriously injured.
Police said Gordon, traveling in a Subaru Forester on I-495 North, swerved over the median and struck Grilli in the left front part of her vehicle, a 2007 Saturn Ion which was travelling in the southbound lane of the highway.
The Subaru rolled over in the crash, landing in the southbound breakdown lane, while Grilli's Saturn stopped in the left lane.
Gordon was pronounced dead at the Tobey Hospital in Wareham. Grilli was taken to Morton Hospital in Taunton with serious injuries, news reports said.
The accident is under state police investigation. It is believed that the inclement weather had something to do with the fatal accident.
