WINTHROP, MASS. (WHDH) - An elderly man from East Boston is facing charges in connection with a fatal crash on Friday.
Emergency crews responding to a two-car crash near the intersection of Hagman Road and Walden Street around 3:30 p.m. found a woman seriously hurt, according to police.
She was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital, where she later died from her injuries. Her name has not been released.
A preliminary investigation indicates 84-year-old Kenneth Thompson was driving north on Hagman Road in a Hyundai Elantra when he collided with a Jeep that was traveling on Pauline Street toward Woodside Avenue.
Video from the scene showed several damaged vehicles, including an SUV that had rolled over onto its side on Walden Street.
Thompson is due to face a judge on charges of motor-vehicle homicide, driving under the influence of alcohol, and failure to stop.
The crash remains under investigation.
