Elderly Woman Fatally Struck in Malden SUV Collision Involving Federal Vehicle

An unfortunate incident occurred on Thursday in Malden, Massachusetts, resulting in the tragic loss of an elderly woman’s life. The collision involved two SUVs and happened at the intersection of Main Street and Mountain Avenue. The response from first responders was swift, emphasizing the severity of the situation.

Preliminary reports indicate that a BMW SUV traveling south on Main Street collided with another SUV at a traffic light. This impact caused the BMW to veer off course, subsequently striking two telephone poles and tragically hitting the pedestrian, who was standing on a nearby sidewalk. The collision also led to the toppling of two utility poles, adding to the chaos of the incident.

What makes this incident even more concerning is the involvement of a vehicle belonging to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Enforcement and Removal Operations. This federal vehicle was stationary at the intersection when it was struck by the BMW, which then led to the fatal collision with the pedestrian. The agency confirmed that two of its agents were injured and subsequently hospitalized due to the impact.

by Neumann Law Group

If you have too much time on your hands, the Internet has plenty of content to keep you entertained. Like “X weird driving laws in the United States”. Most of us will at least chuckle learning that it is illegal to drive with a gorilla in the backseat in the state of Massachusetts. The same post will inform the bored reader that in Florida it is against the law to tie an elephant to a parking meter and you’ll certainly wonder why in Montana you must have a chaperone if you have sheep in your truck.

Who came up with these crazy laws? Well, no one. There is no specific law in Massachusetts preventing you from taking a gorilla for a ride. It’s just one of the many urban myths making the rounds on the Internet. Oddly enough, though, what they say is technically true and it is illegal to drive with a gorilla in the backseat.
