Tristan Palmer, 25, of Lawrence died in a tragic crash Saturday morning around 12:30am on Route 213 in Methuen. According to The Eagle Tribune, Palmer was driving his Saturn Ion on the I-495 ramp off Route 213 when he somehow lost control, drove through a guardrail, down an embankment off the highway and landed with the front end of the Saturn on the ground and the roof of the vehicle up against a tree.
Emergency workers responded to the fatal car crash and rushed Palmer to an area hospital before having him transferred by helicopter to a Boston hospital, where he was pronounced dead Saturday evening. Speed has been named as a contributing factor in the crash by authorities, who continue to investigate the crash with reconstruction specialists.
