PEABODY — An 86-year-old Peabody man was killed Tuesday morning after two cars collided, sending one of the vehicles into a home on Lynn Street, Police Capt. Dennis Bonaiuto said.
Police responded to the crash at approximately 8:42 a.m. and found a two-car crash with minor damage to a home at 35 Lynn St. The 86-year-old man, who was driving one of the vehicles, was taken to Salem Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, Bonaiuto said.
The driver of the other car — which crashed into the residence as a result of the collision — a 35-year-old Danvers man, sustained minor injuries, but did not seek medical treatment. The other occupants, an adult woman and three children, were not injured, Bonaiuto said.
Bonaiuto said that the damaged house was deemed safe by the city’s building inspector. Nobody in the building at the time of the crash was injured, he said.
The Massachusetts State Police Crash Reconstruction Unit and Peabody Police Department are still investigating the crash. The cause of the crash has not been released and no citations have been issued at this time, Bonaiuto said.
