Peabody Man Seriously Injured, Haverhill Man Dead in Route 128 Crash

Wallace Arnott, 56, of Haverhill was killed in a multi-car crash Wednesday morning on the northbound side of Route 128 in Peabody, as reported by The Eagle Tribune. Kenneth Weeden, 52, of Peabody was another driver involved and was severely injured as a result of the serious accident during the morning commute. The third driver who was involved was Rita Tavarez, 42, of Chelsea, and she reportedly was uninjured in the crash.

The car crash happened around 6:45am in the area of the Lowell Street exit on 128.  Arnott was unresponsive at the scene of the crash and was rushed to a local hospital.  He was then flown by helicopter to a hospital in Boston, where he was pronounced dead some time later.  Weeden was taken to a local hospital as well for treatment of his injuries.  Officials are continuing to investigate the exact cause of the accident, but have determined that it appeared to be a chain reaction of rear-end crashes with the cars driven by Arnott, Weeden and Tavarez. 

Statistics on Deadly Crashes
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 334 people were killed in Massachusetts in 2009 as a direct result of car crashes in the state.  Additionally, 250 fatal accidents occurred that same year that involved one or two vehicles going straight ahead on a highway.  Our sympathies and thoughts go out to the families affected by Wednesday’s multi-vehicle accident in Massachusetts.

Seekonk Man Faces Drunk Driving Charges in Attleboro Crash

William O’Connell, 55, of Seekonk was in Attleboro District Court yesterday to face charges of operating under the influence of alcohol and driving to endanger, as reported by The Sun Chronicle today. The charges stem from O’Connell crashing his pickup truck into a car in Attleboro this past Saturday afternoon while he was three times over the legal limit, violating Massachusetts OUI laws. O’Connell entered a not guilty plea in court yesterday to answer the charges. The driver of the car that O’Connell struck around 1:00pm on Saturday was Michael Robitaille, 31, of Attleboro.

O’Connell is a truck driver for the city in the public works department, but was not working at the time of the accident. According to police, he registered a .24 BAC (blood alcohol content), which is three times the .08 legal limit in Massachusetts for alcohol in one’s system while driving. Thankfully, there were no reported injuries from the accident. O’Connell will return to court next month.

Legal Limits in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, a BAC of .08 or over while driving is considered illegal.  This limit is lower for drivers who are younger than 21 and those who operate commercial cars and trucks. A conviction for operating under the influence (OUI) in Massachusetts can result in fines anywhere from $500 to $5,000, as well as a prison sentence of over two years. 

In addition, your driver’s license can be suspended for a year. The penalties are significantly higher with each conviction of an OUI. Do your part to avoid a vehicle accident in Massachusetts by not drinking and driving.

What Massachusetts Should Do to Prevent Drunk Driving

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has recently named Massachusetts as one of the worst states in the country in efforts to stop drunk driving on the Commonwealth’s roadways. Massachusetts has only agreed to follow 4 of the 11 guidelines presented by the NTSB in a federal endeavor to put an end to drunk driving. Along with Massachusetts, 22 states are in the same boat, having agreed to less than five of the NTSB’s recommendations. Six other states have been following eight or more of the suggestions and not one of the 50 states has agreed to follow all of them.

Highlights of the NTSB’s recommendations are to have one court manage all of a state’s drunken driving cases, which would help pave the way for consistency in sentencing, and to ban the practice of erasing charges on an offender’s record once they have complied with alcohol-related treatment. Plea bargains in these types of cases are also discouraged by the NTSB.

Other suggestions are to install equipment in an offender’s car that would lock the ignition if alcohol was present and for repeat offenders to have a blood alcohol content (BAC) register as zero. The NTSB encourages states to impound the cars of drunk drivers and to confiscate license plates, in addition to randomly screening for alcohol among the repeat offender population. Treatment plans for drunk drivers lean towards longer-term rehabilitation programs.

The NTSB’s recommendations will result in significantly fewer repeat drunk driving incidents, which translate to fewer fatalities and severe injuries from these accidents that occur all too often.

Snow and Speed May Have Contributed to Deadly I-95 Bridge Crash

Charles Moncousky, 64, of North Hampton, NH, was killed late Monday evening when the Toyota Camry he was driving plunged off of the Whittier Bridge on I-95 between Newburyport and Amesbury around 10:00pm into the frigid water of the Merrimack River. Officials located the vehicle, with Moncousky inside, about 20 feet below the Merrimack’s surface a little over two hours after the initial reports came in about a vehicle plummeting off the bridge.

Authorities are currently investigating whether or not the snow-covered barriers on the Whittier and speed could have played a role in Moncousky’s car falling into the freezing water below the bridge. Several State Police units are looking into how the tragic crash occurred.

Edward King, 47, of Everett, MA sustained serious injury in a 2-car accident on Interstate 95 North in Seabrook, NH on Monday. He was listed in a critical condition at a Boston hospital on Tuesday.

According to officials, King was seriously injured when his car, a 1999 Nissan Maxima, struck a box delivery truck that was parked in the breakdown lane near Exit 1 in Seabrook on Monday afternoon (slightly after 3pm). It was not immediately clear why King’s vehicle had veered into the breakdown lane.

King was trapped in his car and had to be cut out of the vehicle. He was rushed to Exeter Hospital in Exeter, NH, and was later airlifted by the Dartmouth Air Rescue Team to Boston Medical Center for treatment.

Police said King was “conscious and alert at the scene."

There were two occupants in the 10-wheel box truck at the time of the accident, but no injuries were reported.

The accident, which occurred between the New Hampshire visitors' center exit and the Exit 1 off-ramp, is still under police investigation. Anyone with information regarding this crash is asked to call Trooper First Class Keith Walker at 603-223-8490.

Massachusetts Auto Accident News – 02-02-2011

While yet another snow storm blankets ours state, here are the latest news regarding motor vehicle accidents in Massachusetts.
  • A 12-year-old boy was injured on Monday after being struck by a car in Newton, Massachusetts. The boy was walking to school with his brother when he ran across the street. He got struck by an oncoming vehicle as he attempted to cross the road; not in a crosswalk. Police have ruled out limited visibility due to snow or snow banks, but believe solar glare may have been a factor.
  • John A. “Jack” Barisano, 62, of Marshfield was killed in a single vehicle accident on Route 3 in Pembroke on Monday morning. According to officials, Barisano was driving a Needham municipal pickup truck northbound on Route 3 when he lost control north of Exit 12 and south of the North River Bridge. The Ford pickup truck struck the left-side guardrail, flipped over and rolled over into the median strip. Barisano was ejected in the crash. He was transported to South Shore Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Barisano was a veteran employee as a Highway Forman for the Town of Needham.
  • Charles Moncousky, 64, of North Hampton, NH died after the car he was driving plunged about 100 feet off a bridge on Interstate 95 and 20 feet into the freezing waters of Merrimack River. His body was recovered from the submerged 2002 Toyota Camry on Monday by state police, the Coast Guard and local authorities. Police had previously received reports of a car plowing through a snowbank and driving off the Whittier Bridge on the Amesbury-Newburyport line at about 8:15 pm. The vehicle, which was owned by Total Air Supply, Inc., an HVAC company in Nashua, NH was recovered Tuesday morning. It appears that the driver may have been speeding.
These tragic accidents further underline the absolute necessity of paying attention on the road while driving, or crossing the street. We sympathize with the families of the killed drivers, and hope that the 12-year-old boy will fully recover from his injuries.

As the winter weather continues in Massachusetts, the chances for motor vehicle accidents are greater and we should all strive to be more attentive drivers.

Methuen Man Mark Torres Killed in Snowmobile Accident in Massachusetts

Mark Torres, 44, of Methuen, Massachusetts died in a snowmobile rollover accident close to Lowell Street in Methuen last Friday. Officials say the accident occurred as he was attempting to climb up a steep embankment along Merrimack River when his snowmobile rolled over on top of him causing fatal injuries.

Torres was alone on the snowmobile at the time of the accident. His wife told police that he had left around 5:00 pm to go for a ride, but never returned. She rounded up some friends and neighbors and went to look for him. Around 8:00 pm, a friend discovered Torres and called 911.

He was rushed to a local hospital, but at this point it was too late to do anything for him. Torres was pronounced dead at Lawrence General.

While this accident remains under police investigation, we offer our sincerest sympathies to his family.

Torres was known as a responsible rider, and he was wearing his helmet and gloves at the time of the accident.

In snowmobile accidents, many factors may be involved to cause a rollover. Often times, it is driver inexperience, lapse in judgment, operating under the influence, or problems with the vehicle itself, among others.

Last year, 38 snowmobiles were involved in fatal accidents in the United States, while last winter (2009-2010), in Massachusetts alone there were 26 snowmobile accidents, one of which resulted in a fatality.

This year is looking to be more devastating, since this is the second fatality since the beginning of January. The first snowmobile accident fatality was Richard A. Maynard III, who was killed as a result of a Winchendon accident on January 15.
