A Haverhill man, described by State Police as being in his 20s, died Saturday night after an alleged wrong-way driver struck his sedan head-on Interstate 93 in Boston.
State Police told WHAV the unnamed Haverhill man, driving a Chevrolet Cruze, was stuck by a 2004 Cadillac Escalade just before 11 p.m., Saturday, that was driving southbound in the northbound lanes.
Just before, two other vehicles—a Honda Odyssey and an Audi A4—attempted to avoid the wrong-way driver and also crashed. The occupants of the Honda Odyssey, a family of four, were taken to a Boston-area hospital for evaluation.
Shortly thereafter, the wrong-way driver, identified as 81-year-old Antone Carvalho of Somerset, collided head-on with the Haverhill man’s car. Both were taken to Boston-area hospitals, but the Haverhill man died from his injuries. Police said Carvalho will be issued a summons to appear in court at a later date.
