A Danvers man was pulled from a burning car on I-95 earlier this week.
A Danvers man was pulled from his burning car just before it exploded earlier this week, following a crash on I-95 in Peabody, reports Patch news partner WHDH. The crash happened early Tuesday morning. Howie Lane of Essex was plowing the road at about 2 a.m. when he heard "a big noise" that "jolted the truck," he told channel 7. Lane went into action. The Jeep that struck the plow was on fire and the driver inside - later identified as Franco Carullo, 35, of Danvers - was unconscious. Long and his plowing partner pulled the man — whose pants had caught on fire — from the Jeep. The door was locked so he smashed the window to get to Carullo.

A car crashed into mud along the banks of the Porter River on Thursday night.
A vehicle careened through a guardrail and about 50 feet through mud on the edge of the Porter River on Thursday night. Nobody was injured in the crash, which police said could have been caused because the driver had a “medical episode.” The sport utility vehicle stopped just a few feet from the edge of the water at the end of River Street. “Fortunately, the tide was out,” said Sgt. Robert Bettencourt, a Danvers police spokesman. The crash was reported at 8:34 p.m. and the vehicle was removed from the mud by about 10 p.m. Officers Jason Skane and Dana Martin and Sgt. David Joyce all responded, as did the Danvers Fire Department and Lyons ambulance.

That was the peak of the snow storm. Maybe Duval Patrick was right when he banned driving last time. Nobody ever sets out thinking they are going to be the one that slides into someone's porch. more ›
