Fri, 05 Feb 2010 08:00:00 EST

February 5, 2010 - Shrewsbury - A local man has been accused of killing his wife in their Shrewsbury home on Thursday afternoon following an altercation.

According to The MetroWest Daily News, 44-year-old Keith Rosiello called police Thursday at about 1 p.m. after he and his wife reportedly had an argument in their Deerfield Road home. The victim was 44-year-old Maureen Rosiello, who was pronounced dead at the scene after authorities arrived.

According to her husband, she was not breathing when he made the call to the police. After listening to several questions from the dispatcher, Rosiello stated that he wanted to contact his lawyer, according to My Fox Boston.

Rosiello was arrested at his house, and is being charged with murder. It is not clear how his wife was murdered, but authorities on the Massachusetts murder scene say that obvious signs of trauma were present. The Rosiellos have two children, a 12-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son. They are currently staying with relatives, though police did file with the state's Department of Children and Families.

Neighbors and police alike agree that they had never witnessed any prior arguments at the couple's home, nor did they have a record of domestic violence with police.

Witnesses said that at about 5:45 p.m., Dow was driving in the Martha's Vineyard Hospital parking lot, when she quickly drove away, crossed the road and crashed into the woods.

Officials believe crash victim Rachel Dow had a medical emergency that caused her to keep her foot on the Acura's gas pedal, thereby causing the car to drive into the woods. Witnesses said that the car's tires continued to spin even after the vehicle crashed. Authorities believe this may have caused the vehicle to ignite.

Accident victim Dow was critically injured in the fatal crash and was unresponsive when medical officials arrived. Dow was pronounced dead after she was transported to Martha's Vineyard Hospital.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's 2008 Massachusetts Crash Statistics, there were 363 fatalities as a result of car accidents in Massachusetts.

Proposed Bill Could Ban Texting While Driving in Massachusetts

Thu, 04 Feb 2010 08:00:00 EST

February 4, 2010 - Cape Cod, Mass. - Massachusetts drivers may experience safer roads if proposed anti-texting laws pass and work to discourage distracted driving.

According to Cape Cod Times, a countrywide ban on texting by bus drivers and truckers already exist. Both the State Senate and House have considered bans on texting while driving in an effort to increase Massachusetts road safety. The anti-texting bill was recently introduced by Rep. Demetrius Atsalis, D-Barnstable, but has not yet been passed.

Since the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has stated that those texting while driving focus their eyes on their phone rather than the road for about 4.6 of every six seconds, this practice has been said to be as dangerous as drunk driving.

Those promoting Massachusetts road safety have noted that while strict laws prohibit operating under the influence (OUI), texting while driving has not yet been legally recognized as a dangerous form of driver distraction.

The texting ban for truckers and bus drivers came about when the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute discovered that truckers who text are about 23 times more likely to get into a car accident-or experience a near-miss-than those who do not text while driving.

An auto accident can ruin and completely change your life. If you have been injured in a car crash in Boston or Andover you should contact a Massachusetts personal injury attorney to learn about your rights and determine liability. When you are interviewing personal injury attorneys ask critical questions, like: how long have you been practicing; what is the largest settlement or verdict you've obtained, and do you have experience with distracted driver accidents?

Driver Found Guilty in Accident that Injured Senior Pedestrian

Tue, 12 Jan 2010 08:00:00 EST

January 12, 2010 - Salem - A male driver from Salem has been found guilty of negligent driving and will spend a year on probation in addition to attending a mandatory driver safety class in connection to a car accident where he injured an 84-year-old woman who was crossing the street.

According to reports from The Salem News, 68-year-old William Conway was found guilty of negligence in a car accident that took place on Oct. 8 of last year when his car struck 84-year-old Laura Camara as she was crossing the street in a crosswalk while carrying groceries and a bright green broom.

A truck driver had stopped at the crosswalk to allow Camara to pass, a move that Conway thought was intended to allow him to make a left turn from Aborn Street. Conway contested that he did not see Camara in the road due to a thin metal pillar blocking his line of vision. The judge determined that Conway should have seen Camara in the road, especially due to the bright green broom she was holding "like a flag".

Camara sustained several injuries as a result of the car accident, including abrasions and bruising and watched the trial from a wheelchair.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's 2008 Massachusetts Crash Statistics, there were 363 fatalities as a result of car accidents in Massachusetts.
