Teen driver in Lincoln fatal crash faces arraignment

A 17-year-old Lincoln High School student is set to be arraigned today on felony charges three months after a car crash in which his first cousin was killed.

Andrew Bessette was driving with a friend on Oct. 15 down Wilbur Road between Jenckes Hill Road and Old Louisquissett Pike when the car he was driving went off the road, drove over a stone wall and crashed into a tree on Longmeadow Road.

One of his passengers was his cousin and schoolmate, 15-year-old Marissa Lorea. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Another passenger was also seriously injured.

Bessette appeared in District Court, Providence, in October and was released on personal recognizance. He faces a felony charge of driving to endanger, death resulting.
