CONCORD, MA — On Saturday, July 25, 2026, at approximately 1:00 p.m., Concord Police and Fire responded to Walden Street at Bristers Hill Road for a report of a multi-vehicle crash.
Upon arrival, first responders observed a two-vehicle crash involving a Honda Accord and a Tesla Model 3, with five people suffering from injuries.
The operator and front seat passenger of the Tesla, identified as John Hamilton, 82, and Paula Hamilton, 85, both of Concord, were transported by medical flight to Lahey Hospital in Burlington where they later died from their injuries. The two other passengers of the Tesla, both 28-years-old, from Tacoma, Washington, were transported to an area hospital. One of the passengers was released from the hospital and the other remains in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the Honda, a 25-year-old Wilmington man, was also transported to the hospital where he remains at this time.
The preliminary information suggests that the Honda and the Tesla were traveling in opposite directions on Walden Street when the Honda allegedly crossed the double yellow line striking the Tesla head on.
This an ongoing investigation being conducted by the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, Concord Police, with assistance from the Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section (CARS).
