Overview
- A Honda Accord and a Tesla Model 3 collided head-on near Walden Street and Bristers Hill Road around 1 p.m. on Saturday, July 25, leaving five people injured.
- John Hamilton, 82, and his wife Paula Hamilton, 85, who were in the Tesla, were flown to Lahey Hospital and later died from their injuries, authorities said.
- Two 28-year-old Tesla passengers from Tacoma, Washington, were taken to area hospitals; one has been released and the other remains hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
- Investigators from Concord police, the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, and the Massachusetts State Police collision reconstruction unit say preliminary information suggests the Honda crossed the double yellow line and struck the Tesla head-on.
- Emergency crews used Boston MedFlight and local mutual aid to respond, and officials say the technical reconstruction and DA review are ongoing, so any determination of fault or charges has not been announced.
