I noticed this clause in the article;
in which Coleman lost control and hit a tree
because it's so unusual to see any agency attributed to the driver. A more common phrasing would be something like, "The vehicle went out of control and hit a tree."
How sad. I know this road well. My aunt lived in East Longmeadow and my mom resided with and worked for a family on Hall Hill Rd. (the name changes once you cross the CT. state line.) Many of the homes sit a ways off the road at that point. Just the same, it is a two lane road with few streetlights. My sympathies to this young man’s family. Subarus are among the safest cars on the road; it is why I drive one as did my daughter.
