State Police Investigate Fatal Crash on Route 90 in Weston

Today, at approximately 3:00 a.m. Troopers assigned to the State Police Barracks in Weston responded to a two-vehicle crash on Route 90 East, west of Route 128 (interchange 14) in Weston that resulted in one fatality.

Preliminary investigation by Trooper John S. Wosny indicates 22 year old Renee R. Woodbury of Lynn, was operating a 1993 Toyota Camry on Route 90 East when she lost control of the vehicle. The Toyota struck the median Jersey-Barrier and came to rest perpendicular to traffic in the middle lane. A 2004 Honda Accord traveling in the middle lane of Route 90 East, and operated by a 29-year-old Lisa Snow of Waltham collided directly into the passenger side of the Toyota. Woodbury was not wearing a safety belt: she was entrapped in her vehicle and sustained fatal injuries in the crash. The Weston Fire Department extricated Woodbury from her vehicle and she was declared deceased at the scene. Lisa Snow and two of her passengers, 31-year-old Renata G. Starbranch of Waltham and 47-year-old Jose A. Machado of Everett, were wearing safety belts and sustained only minor injuries. The fourth occupant of the Honda, 30-year-old Karin Kachbalyan of Bedford was not wearing a safety belt at the time of the crash and she sustained serious injuries. All the occupants of the Honda were transported to Newton-Wellesley Hospital by ambulance for treatment.

This crash remains under investigation with the assistance of the State Police Collision and Reconstruction Section and the State Police Crime Scene Services Section. The Weston Fire Department and the Mass Pike Maintenance also assisted Troopers at the scene.

During the vehicle recovery and investigation the left and right lanes of Route 90 East were closed for approximately 2 ¾ hours.

No further information is available at this time. Please do not call the barracks directly.
