WALTHAM, MA - Late on the afternoon of Sunday, November 7th, a car traveling too fast and recklessly hit a tree located in a cemetery head-on.

Waltham Fire dispatched Engine 1, Squad 5 and Medic 1 to Calvary Cemetery where firefighters found three individuals on the ground next to a 4x4 Jeep. Deputy Brock Rowland arrived and requested another medic unit and an ambulance. One individual was taken to Newton Wellesley Hospital, while another was sent to Lahey Hospital in Burlington.
