Nearby resident Anne Fleischman said that section of the road is so dangerous, she doesn’t even walk her dog there. “It’s terrible,” she said. “People drive very, very fast.”

Two people died and a third person was injured after their vehicle went into a pond in Framingham off Route 9. An adult man and woman in the front seats died after the Honda Accord crashed into the pond near Gates Road and flipped over. A woman in the back seat was flown to a Boston hospital, and her current condition is unknown.

Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death

After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?

Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
