WEATHER MAY HAVE PLAYED ROLE IN FATAL CAR CRASH IN SPRINGFIELD

Posted on by

West Springfield Police District –Preliminarily, our Crash Reconstruction Unit detectives believe that rainy weather may have played a role in a fatal two-car crash in Springfield. Officers responded to Rolling Road near Hunter Village Drive around 2:30 p.m. yesterday after a Honda Civic lost control, crossed over the grassy median and crashed into a Kia Sportage. Both drivers were taken to the hospital. The driver of the Honda, Mina Fowler, 70, was pronounced deceased. The second driver, a 33-year-old Woodbridge man, had what appear to be non-life threatening injuries.  Detectives say speed may have been a contributing factor in the crash.
