Today's Top Headlines

Thursday, June 25

Good morning Wypierdalaj,

We've got another nice sunny day on tap -- but then our attention turns back to rain and the threat for severe weather tomorrow. Other news we're following this morning includes a deadly wrong-way crash in Northborough, and another near-miss at Boston Logan Airport. Plus, an 80-year-old woman living in the North End says she's been unable to leave her apartment for three weeks. I'm Kaitlin McKinley Becker, and these are your headlines.

It’ll be hard to top yesterday’s weather, but we’ll give it a try today.

A few more clouds, a bit more warmth, and still not a lot of humidity.

Showers will move in tonight, and some of the rain may be briefly heavy.

One person is dead and another is injured after a wrong-way driver hit another vehicle head-on on Interstate 290 in Northborough, Massachusetts, Wednesday night, causing both vehicles to catch on fire.

The Northborough Fire Department says it responded after multiple people called 911 just before 9 p.m. to report a serious crash on the eastbound side of the highway prior to Exit 27 (Hudson Street/Solomon Pond Road).

First responders found a Subaru and a Jeep fully involved in fire and with severe front-end damage once on scene. One of the vehicles was resting on its side. Several Northborough police officers and Massachusetts State Police troopers were already attempting to extinguish the flames when firefighters arrived.

A 9-year-old boy was seriously hurt when he fell from a third-floor window in Hanson, Massachusetts, on Wednesday, officials said.

The child was flown to a trauma center in the Boston area, according to Hanson police and fire officials.

The boy’s fall, at a home on Phillips Street, was reported about 12:34 p.m., the officials said. First responders found that the boy had serious injuries and rushed him by ambulance to meet a medical helicopter.

A teenager was found unresponsive in a Beverly, Massachusetts, pool on Wednesday afternoon and rushed to the hospital, officials said.

The 13-year-old boy was eventually flown to a Boston hospital by helicopter after being stabilized at Beverly Hospital, according to local police and fire officials.

The incident was reported to 911 as a boy unresponsive in a pool at a home on Parramatta Road about 4:15 p.m., officials said. When first responders arrived, bystanders who’d pulled the teenager from the water were performing CPR, which the first responders took over.

An 80-year-old woman says she’s been trapped in her Boston apartment building for weeks because the management company has not fixed a broken elevator.

Silke Evans, who lives at the Villa Michelangelo Apartments in the North End, says she wants to go out and enjoy the nice weather, but she can’t, because the elevator has not worked for three weeks.

“I feel imprisoned. That’s it,” she said. “I feel like I’m in prison.”

A passenger jet pulled up from landing at Boston Logan International Airport on Sunday because another plane was still on the runway, officials said.

It’s the second such incident in two days — another Delta plane aborted its landing on Saturday, with an aviation expert saying it came within the length of a football field from the other plane. The Federal Aviation Administration is investigating both go-around incidents, in which both planes did land safely.

Sunday’s incident took place about 5:45 p.m., when Delta Flight 1075 was instructed by the Logan air traffic control to go-around, a maneuver on which a plane stops landing and climbs for another approach. The other aircraft was clearing the Delta plane’s runway after crossing it, according to the FAA.
