Car Accident Attorney Reports: 17 Year Old Teenager Killed on Interstate 287

On Sunday, January 1^st, 17 year old Margaret Radford was pronounced dead at the scene after crashing into a tree on the ramp to northbound Interstate 95 around 9pm. Her passenger, Celia Sprouse of Stamford, CT was taken to the hospital with serious head trauma but listed as critical but stable condition by morning.
Radford was driving a 1999, 328i BMW convertible registered in her father's name. It is believed that speed has been a factor in the crash. The car spun out of control and turned several times before hitting a tree on the passenger side of the vehicle. Firefighters had to use an extricating device to remove the girls from the car. The crash is being investigated and police hope witnesses will come forward to provide additional details, by calling 914-769-2600.
Radford was homeschooled, although attended Croton Harmon High school during her junior year, where she was known for her sense of humor and exceptional writing skills. Grief counselors will be on hand at the high school to assist students in dealing with this tragedy.
