Alleged drunk driver injures two women in Beverly accident
Two women were hurt this morning after an alleged drunk driver crashed into their SUV on Route 128 northbound near Beverly, causing both vehicles to roll over, State Police said.
Trooper Thomas Murphy said the accident occurred at 6:45 a.m. near the Route 1A exit.
The driver of a Toyota RAV4 SUV, Kathleen Olivero, 57, and her passenger Tracy Olivero, 34, both of Beverly, were taken to Beverly Hospital with minor injuries after being struck by a GMC Sierra pickup driven by James Dexter, 19, of Danvers. Neither Dexter, now his passenger, Eric Banks, 19, of Danvers, were injured.
Murphy said Dexter was arrested and charged with operating under the influence. He was also charged with use of motor vehicle without authority because the truck did not belong to him.
