Susan Earnshaw, 29, and her fiancé Netaniel Nieves, 30, of Methuen sustained severe injuries in a rollover accident last Friday just before 4:30pm on I-495 in Merrimac. The Eagle Tribune reports that the couple’s Honda Civic rolled over near Exit 52 on the highway with Nieves behind the wheel, following what police are saying was a road rage incident with a second driver, who was operating a Porsche 911. The driver of the Porsche was described as having white hair and as a Caucasian male, but no further details have been reported at this time by officials.
Authorities have reported that Earnshaw was thrown from the Civic when the vehicle rolled over. She reportedly sustained severe head injuries and was in and out of consciousness when emergency responders arrived on the scene of the rollover crash. Earnshaw’s grandmother, Gertrude Earnshaw, told the Tribune that her granddaughter is currently in the intensive care unit at a Boston area hospital. There has been no further update on either Earnshaw’s or Nieves’ conditions. The accident remains under investigation by police.
Rollover Accident Statistics
A motor vehicle accident that involves a vehicle rolling over is typically one of the most deadly forms of accidents among all passenger cars. SUVs face the highest risk of rolling over in a car crash with about a 60% chance of rolling over, while passenger cars (sedans, etc.) are at a 25% risk of rolling over. Thankfully, there were no fatalities in this serious accident and our thoughts go out to the families of both accident victims.
