A Massachusetts couple out for an early evening ride on a motorcycle wound up in an accident recently. The car crash occurred on Route 10. Police placed blame on a teenage driver and cited her for the incident under a local ordinance.

The motorcycle riders are from West Springfield and both are said to be 45 years of age. Initial reports indicate that they were traveling southbound on Route 10. A photograph from the car crash site shows a roadway dotted with what appear to be residential homes. A police sergeant explained that a 19-year-old was backing a vehicle out of the driveway at her residence when she collided with the oncoming motorcycle.

Driving on the wrong side of a highway accounts for a significant number of accidents in Massachusetts and across the country. Typically, this type of car crash occurs at night or in the early morning hours, and alcohol or drugs often are contributing factors. That appears to have been the case in a recent wrong way auto accident that occurred in Seekonk.

The car crash is said to have happened on a recent Friday night at just about 11:30 p.m. Massachusetts State Police say a man suspected of driving under the influence was headed east in the westbound lanes of Route 195. In doing so, he struck a car headed west, causing injury to two of its occupants. Both were transported to a nearby hospital. Though the specific nature and extent of their injuries was not further described, authorities reported that both victims were expected to survive.

We have written on this personal injury blog in the past about the inherent dangers of drinking and driving. Those who choose to drive on Massachusetts roadways after ingesting drugs or consuming alcohol are a danger to themselves, their passengers and others in or near the road. Both drugs and alcohol are considered to have contributed to a deadly crash that occurred in the early morning hours of a recent Saturday. In addition to criminal charges now pending, a wrongful death civil claim could ultimately be filed as well.

Police are seeking to hold a 23-year-old Massachusetts woman from Middleboro criminally responsible in connection with the fatal car accident. Details of the accident in an early news report were scant. Authorities have indicated it was a head-on crash that happened close to 2 a.m. on the final weekend of March. Both vehicles flipped over as a result of the impact, and an 18-year-old woman that was behind the wheel of the car that was hit lost her life.

Early news reports of a Massachusetts motor vehicle accident often leave us wondering exactly what happened. When a car accident results in serious injury, the first concern - understandably - is stabilizing any crash victims and transporting them for emergency medical care. When there are multiple vehicles and multiple victims, the scene sometimes appears akin to organized chaos.
