This story tells the entire tale of driving in Massachusetts:
A 92-year-old Milford woman was seriously hurt this afternoon when her 82-year-old sister hit the car stopped ahead of her in traffic across from MacMed Spa on East Main Street, which caused a four-car crash, officials said.
Elvira Puntonio, 92, was not wearing a seat belt and ended up under the dashboard, said Fire Lt. Jim Vignone. She was taken by ambulance to Milford Regional Medical Center and then flown by LifeFlight helicopter to UMass Memorial Medical Center with suspected head trauma and other serious injuries, Vignone said.
Puntonio's sister, Ida Sannicandro, 82, also of Milford, refused treatment and was cited for following too closely. No one else involved in the wreck, reported at 1:21 p.m., was hurt...
Police said the car Sannicandro hit was driven by a Natick man who was on his way to the Registry of Motor Vehicles on Beach Street, a 1/2 mile away, to take care of business for his car being unregistered and uninsured. The man, Varun Keesara, 27, was cited for driving an unregistered and uninsured motor vehicle, police said.
So, was "Varun Keesara" really on his way to the RMV? Does he have all the documents he needs to get a registration and insurance for his car? And does AG Martha Coakley care either way?
Will 82-year-old Ida Sannicandro renew her license in the mail? Will she be required to even show up at the RMV, much less take a road test? And does her 92-year-old sister have a license, too? Will these two ladies ever be required to undergo testing to stay on the road? Or will they be left to careen about MetroWest on their own discretion?
For the depressing answers to all these questions, keep watching the gutless weasels on Beacon Hill.
