Kempster, of Taunton, was thrown from the car and died as a result of the injuries he sustained. He had been taken to an area hospital for treatment but succumbed to his injuries.
He had been driving in the left lane before Exit 12 on the highway when the accident occurred. When Kempster lost control of his car, the vehicle went onto the median and rolled over many times.

Tractor-Trailer Truck Tips Over in Foxboro
This past Monday, 44-year-old Lewis Wade Jr. was guiding his tractor-trailer along the ramp from 495 South to 95 South in Foxboro when the truck tipped onto its side.
Wade, from Camden, New Jersey, was transported via helicopter to a Boston hospital for treatment following the afternoon accident. He continues to be in the hospital for treatment and is currently listed in good condition.

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.

Halloween: Enjoy Responsibly
In 2009, there were a total of 108 alcohol-related car accident fatalities out of a total of 334 victims involved in fatal car accidents in Massachusetts. About a third of all people involved in fatal car crashes last year had an illegal amount of alcohol in their system. Nationwide, a driver’s legal limit is having a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) at .08 or greater. While 334 victims is a decrease from previous years, it is still much too high to tolerate.
Nearly 50 percent of all fatalities in 2009 across the U.S. on Halloween evening (starting from 6:00pm on 10/31 and lasting until 5:59am on 11/1) involved a driver who had a BAC greater than .08. This is a significant number and we can try to do our part to lower it.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced plans for their Impaired Driving Prevention Campaign running from October 25 to October 31, 2010. This campaign will hopefully be effective in cracking down on drunk driving incidents surrounding the haunted holiday, while also offering safety tips.
With festivities just days away, please take the time to plan ahead for how to safely get back home after a night out. Here are some ideas on ways to enjoy the trick-or-treat weekend but still stay safe:
• See if you can get a designated driver for transportation. If not, then call for a taxi if you live close by or by using some other mode of public transport
• Don’t even think about driving if you’re “buzzed.” Buzzed driving is still drunk driving
• Try to keep an eye on friends around you to prevent them from driving if they’re not sober enough to do so
• If you happen to see a drunk driver on the road, don’t hesitate to pick up your cell and call 911. You just might save someone’s life
Simply put, if you think you’ve had one too many drinks (or you know that you have), it’s just not worth it. If you choose to drive drunk, you put yourself and everyone else on the roadway in serious danger.
Plan ahead, be safe, and enjoy this Halloween responsibly.
