Yesterday June 24, 2007, at approximately 8:38 a.m. troopers assigned to the State Police Ted Williams Tunnel Barracks responded to a one-vehicle crash on Route 93 North adjacent to the ramp from Congress Street that resulted in one fatality.

Preliminary investigation by Trooper Denis Pembroke indicates 43-year-old Mark A. Zielinski of Quincy was operating a 1990 Honda VT1100 in the left lane of Rte 93 North when he lost control of the motorcycle. The Honda struck the Jersey-Barrier on the left side of the roadway and both Zielinski and the passenger 50-year-old Luz Argon of Boston were thrown from the motorcycle. Zielinski sustained fatal injures and was declared deceased at the scene. Argon sustained serious injuries and was transported to Mass General Hospital by ambulance.
