Two-Vehicle Crash in Concord Hospitalizes Five

Overview

• A two-vehicle collision at the intersection of Walden Street and Bristers Hill Road around 1 p.m. Saturday left five people injured and required a large emergency response.
• Two patients were flown by Boston MedFlight to regional trauma centers, one was taken by ambulance to a trauma center, and two others were transported by ambulance to local hospitals.
• Concord police and fire crews led the response with mutual-aid ambulances from Lexington, Sudbury, Acton and Pro-EMS and support from the Lincoln Police Department.
• The Concord Police Department opened an investigation and requested technical reconstruction assistance from the Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section; officials have not released patient conditions or said whether charges will be filed.
• Boston MedFlight involvement typically indicates serious injuries and the CARS review will be the key source of information on fault and safety lessons for the intersection, so officials and hospitals are the primary sources to watch for updates.
