John Aylward Obituary News – Car Accident: Victim identified in fatal head-on collision in Dartmouth.
According to a press release from Dartmouth police, a collision on Chase Road on Sunday afternoon left one person dead and two people critically hurt.
According to Dartmouth police, they were called to the scene of a head-on accident between a 2006 Cadillac Seville and a 2015 GMC Acadia at around 3:50 p.m.
The driver of the Cadillac, a man named John Aylward, 75, who was known to Dartmouth police, was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Both the 75-year-old female passenger and the GMC’s 82-year-old male driver were taken to St. Luke’s Hospital, where they were receiving treatment for significant but non-life-threatening wounds as of the time the Dartmouth police press release was published on Sunday night.
