HOLYOKE – Two drivers involved in a head-on crash on Route 202 Sunday night, a 46-year-old Springfield man and a 66-year-old Westfield man, remained in critical condition Wednesday at Baystate Medical Center in Springfield.
Interim Police Chief Frederick J. Seklecki identified the two men as Francisco Lozano, of Cleveland Street, Springfield, and William Hoskin, of Joyce Drive, Westfield.
Police said on the night of the crash, which occurred about 5:30 p.m. near Apremont Highway, that six people had been taken to hospitals. Seklechi said that Lozano and Hoskin were the most seriously injured.
The only information that Seklechi could provide on the other four victims was that Susan Hoskin suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Witnesses told police that Lozano’s 1994 Honda Accord crossed a solid double line and hit Hoskin’s 2007 Hundai Sonata head-on.
“It appears they issued a citation for Lozano for operating to endanger,” Seklecki said, reading from the accident report.
Investigators continue to probe the accident. “I think that there will be further investigation to see what caused him to go over the line,” he said.
Police closed Route 202 for more than five hours while they investigated the crash.
Additional information on the crash was not immediately available.
