On Tuesday evening, three people traveling on Mile Hill Road in Belmont, Massachusetts were involved in an automobile accident. Mile Hill Road, which has no streetlights, has a history of car crashes including a fatal one that occurred in the same spot in 2005. The driver, seventeen-year-old Jamie Peterson managed to escape from the car; however, the two young female passengers were not as lucky and were both taken to Memorial Hospital in Belmont.
According to a witness named Tom Carroll Jr. who was driving behind the Peterson's Mustang the driver was under the influence of alcohol as empty Budweiser beer cans were found on the ground after the crash. However, no police report has been filed and it is not clear at this time how the beer cans got there. Another witnessed named Josie M. Crandall who lives on Mile Hill Road told police she saw the Mustang headed north around 9 PM before it crashed.
The two injured girls are unknown at this time, according to Lieutenant Judith Barkus of the Belmont Police Department. One was in stable condition upon arriving to the hospital; however, the other was airlifted to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. A spokesperson with Mass. General confirmed that the victim from the crash was being treated for a brain injury but would not identify her.
