Nicole Parziale, 39, of Amesbury has been charged in an alleged drunk driving crash that claimed the life of one of her passengers, 55-year-old Glenn Robichaud of Bedford. The Boston Globe reports that the fatal crash took place this past Saturday night around 10:30pm on the northbound side of I-95 in Burlington, in the area of Exit 32.
Parziale is reported to have swerved her Pontiac Grand Am across the highway and ended up in front of a car operated by 20-year-old Kayla Trenholm of Hope Valley, Rhode Island. Trenholm reportedly then crashed with the side of Parziale’s car and both vehicles lost control and crashed.
Trenholm and her passenger, 19-year-old David Torrey of Shannock, Rhode Island, were taken to an area hospital for minor injuries. Parziale, Robichaud, and a second passenger, Denis Splaine, 53, were rushed to another local hospital for treatment. It was announced later that Robichaud died while at the hospital from his serious injuries.
Authorities charged Parziale with negligent operation of her vehicle, operating under the influence of liquor, and also for a suspended license. Parziale reportedly has been convicted for drunken driving before. She was arraigned on the charges yesterday in Woburn District Court. Police have stated that they could be charging Parziale with motor vehicle homicide as well for Robichaud’s death.
Statistics on Drunken Driving in the U.S
Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) has reported that 1 person dies every 50 minutes from injuries in a drunken driving crash in the U.S. Additionally, it is estimated that 1 in 3 people will become involved in a crash during their lifetime where alcohol played a contributing factor in the crash. Drunk driving makes up 1/3 of all deadly crashes that occur in the U.S. each year.
