A 21-year-old New Hampshire woman remained in a Boston hospital with life-threatening injuries yesterday following a two-car crash on Barnes Road that marred Fourth of July festivities on the Vineyard Wednesday afternoon.
The crash left five people injured, three of them seriously, state police said.
The three people were later flown by medical helicopter to Boston hospitals, including Heather LaFlamme, 21, of Berlin, N.H., who was reported in critical condition at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston Thursday afternoon.
Police aren't directly blaming bars in Oak Bluffs for the July
drowning death of a 38-year-old Watertown man, but toxicology tests
released to state police last Wednesday proved the victim's blood
alcohol level was well over the legal limit when he fell into the harbor
just steps away from five waterside restaurants that serve alcohol.
