Elderly Roslindale man struck and killed by car on his own porch

Boston, MA – Egidio Dantuony, a 60-year-old Roslindale resident, died after sustaining severe injuries when a silver sedan went off the road and crashed into his porch Sunday afternoon. Another man who happened to be visiting Dantuony at the time was also injured in this rare type of crash, but he is expected to survive. According to local police, the crash remains under investigation and no charges have been filed against the driver as of yet.

The victim was described as a really good guy, a salt-of-the-earth type of fellow. “He would sit on the porch and just say hi to people as they walk by,” a neighbor said.

Is it true that it is illegal to drive with a gorilla in the backseat in Massachusetts?

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.

Several injured in Turnpike chain accident caused by icy roads

by Neumann Law Group

Boston, MA – March 1st may be just days away, but there are little signs of spring in Massachusetts. On the contrary, weather forecasts indicate potential winter storms throughout the week. This means dangerous road conditions in the Boston area, similar to those last week when 15 trucks and cars were involved in a chain accident on the Massachusetts Turnpike. Several people were taken to the hospital, some of them in serious condition. According to Massachusetts State Police, the crash was most likely caused by the freezing rain that made for very treacherous driving conditions. Speed restrictions were implemented from the New York border all the way to Boston during the storm.

Although it’s been almost one week since the accident, the investigation continues. If you’re ever involved in a multiple-vehicle accident you need to wait for the police report and then contact seasoned Boston accident lawyers. Recovering damages for this type of crash is extremely tricky as more than one party may be liable for damages.
