Late-night crash in Lincoln sends 4 to hospitals
LINCOLN – The police are investigating a head-on collision late last night in the vicinity of 505 Old River Road that sent four people to area hospitals, Sgt. Joseph Kelley said.
Kelley would not say which vehicle left its lane of travel in the accident around 11 p.m. Nor would he release the names of the juveniles in one of the cars.
Kelley said a 16-year-old girl, with a 17-year-old female passenger, was driving a 1998 Volvo south on Old River Road, and a 44-year-old Woonsocket man, with a 38-year-old female passenger, was driving a 2003 Chevrolet north.
The Woonsocket man, Richard Ledoux of 2134 Mendon Rd., is in good condition this morning at Rhode Island Hospital, spokeswoman Andrea Barbosa said. No condition was available this morning for his passenger, Kristine Lorange, Barbosa said. The police did not immediately have Lorange’s address available.
Kelley said both juveniles were taken to Hasbro Children's Hospital. Their injuries were not life-threatening, he said.
All four people were wearing seatbelts, he said.
The speed limit on Old River Road in the vicinity of the accident is 35 mph. The roadway is curvy and hilly and was not lit at the time of the accident, Kelley said.
He would not say how fast the two cars were traveling or if charges were pending against either driver, saying that’s part of the police investigation.
Both cars sustained heavy front-end damage, Kelley said.

This is the most depressing collection of headlines I can imagine facing on a Monday morning. This isn't news worthy of our major paper, it's a litany of other people's troubles. At least mix in some bake sales and births if you're going to be the town cryer.
