87-year-old Driver Goes Through Guardrail, Into Water

Last Thursday morning, an 87-year-old unidentified woman sped through a guardrail and landed in a West Roxbury creek, which leads to the Charles River.

The woman was conscious following the 11:00am accident and was transported immediately to an area hospital for back pain.

It was reported that she was driving over 40 miles per hour when she hit the guardrail and ended up in the water. This took place at the Toyota Prime Motor Group dealership, where she was involved in another incident just prior to the run-in with the creek.

The facilities manager for the dealership, Joe Rose, stated that her car was hit by a black sedan in the dealership’s parking lot. Both cars had stopped at that point and the black sedan started to back up. The 87-year-old’s engine then revved loudly and accelerated quickly ahead as it sped through the lot, hitting many of the used cars in the dealer’s parking lot, before it hit the guardrail and descended towards the water. Once she was in the creek, the level of the water nearly covered the woman’s tires.

The driver of the black sedan was uninjured from the accident.
