The Eagle Tribune reported today that two unidentified North Andover brothers sustained critical injuries in a fiery car accident that took place early Sunday morning on Storrow Drive in Boston.
According to Massachusetts State Police, the unnamed brothers were traveling inbound just before 4:30am when the vehicle crashed and rolled over near the Charlesgate Overpass. The two brothers were trapped in the vehicle, which caught on fire as a result of the impact.
Both men were rescued by emergency personnel and were rushed to Boston hospitals for emergency treatment. The two brothers remain in critical condition.
The inbound lanes of Storrow Drive were shut down for over 3 hours Sunday morning while authorities investigated the scene of the accident. Officials have not released the exact cause of the crash.

Methuen Man and Woman Injured in 495 Rollover
A Methuen man and a woman were seriously injured in a single vehicle rollover on I- 495 last Friday. The 30-year-old man was the driver of a 1996 Honda Civic that landed on its roof and sustained significant damage in the crash. The 29-year-old woman was his lone passenger.
Both were airlifted by medical helicopters to Boston hospitals with serious injuries; the woman in a critical condition, after being ejected from the vehicle in the accident. She suffered massive head injuries and was lapsing in and out of consciousness, police said. There was no information whether she was wearing a seat belt.
State police suspect that road rage is to blame for the accident which occurred North of Exit 52 in Merrimac. According to police, a gray Porsche 911 operated by a white male with white hair may have been involved in the road-rage incident. There were no other details regarding the car or the driver.

Peabody Accident Leaves 2 Teens Injured
Chad Mancini, 19, of Lynn and a 15-year-old teenage girl from Peabody, who has not been identified, suffered serious injuries in a Tuesday morning car crash that occurred on the ramp that leads from Route 1 South to I-95 North in Peabody. The Daily Item of Lynn reports that Mancini somehow lost control of the Chevy Malibu he was driving while on the ramp around 7:30am, crashing into a guardrail along the side of the ramp. The impact caused the Malibu to spin around and crash into the guardrail for a second time before it rolled over. The car eventually came to a rest on the side of the ramp.
Mancini and the unidentified girl were taken to a Boston area hospital with serious injuries. Both of their conditions are currently unknown. Police involved with the crash are continuing their investigation into the cause of accident but believe that speed contributed to the crash. The two teens were allegedly not wearing seatbelts and, according to police, the absence of the belts also contributed to the injuries they experienced. The ramp was closed down following the accident for several hours to allow for police to investigate and clear the scene. One of the lanes was opened to traffic around 11:00am.
Rollover Occurrence in Car Crashes
In a USA Today analysis report on rollover occurrences in car accidents, sport-utility vehicles (SUVs) were determined to have the highest risk of rolling over in a crash, with a projected rollover occurrence in every 1 in 4 accidents involving SUVs. Certain makes and models of SUVs were found to have a higher probability of rolling over in 1 out of every 2 accidents. Passenger vehicles were found to have a 10% or less chance of rolling over in a motor vehicle accident.
