Driver suspected in fatal wrong-way crash on I-95 that killed Endicott College police sergeant to face charges in N.H.
Advertisement The Endicott police sergeant, Duarte was previously arraigned on charges in Essex Superior Court in March, after a New Hampshire authorities say troopers saw Duarte traveling in a Tesla heading south on the interstate's northbound lanes just before midnight. They notified Massachusetts State Police, who spotted Duarte as he crossed into Massachusetts, the statement said. Duarte continued south and collided with Cole's 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer in Newbury, authorities said. Cole was pronounced dead at the scene. Duarte suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries, officials said. Advertisement At the hospital, officials found Duarte's blood alcohol level showed a reading of .16, double the legal limit, according to Massachusetts prosecutors. Duarte allegedly drove the wrong way on the highway for about 14 miles before the crash, officials said. New Hampshire State Police said Duarte was initially heading north on I-95 in Hampton and pulled into the parking lot of a New Hampshire state liquor store on the northbound side of the highway. Security video of the lot allegedly showed Duarte driving through before departing through the entrance at about 11:45 p.m. It was not immediately clear Friday if Duarte was being represented by an attorney in the New Hampshire case. Messages were left with his Massachusetts attorney seeking comment. Nick Stoico can be reached at

Kennedy Expressway Ohio Street ramp opening delayed when car drives onto fresh concrete
The Illinois Department of Transportation said the reopening of the Ohio Street ramp on the Kennedy Expressway has been delayed. IDOT said a car drove into the work zone and onto freshly poured concrete, damaging the concrete and pushing back the reopening of the outbound ramp by about a week. The third and final phase of the Kennedy Construction Project began in March. While this phase is running ahead of schedule by about a month, according to officials, the whole project isn't set to be completed until Thanksgiving. On June 5, the Division Street and Ontario Street on-ramps to the outbound Kennedy closed for about two weeks. On Monday, June 9, the outbound Kennedy off-ramps North and Fullerton avenues will close for about two weeks. The Ogden Avenue on-ramp to the outbound Kennedy is currently closed, as is the on-ramp at Armitage Avenue. They are expected to reopen the week of June 9. The Ohio Street ramp was also on track to reopen next week until the concrete was damaged. "Reminder: Follow posted signs and stay alert in work zones—your attention keeps everyone safe," IDOT wrote on their social media.
