Newton North Student Killed In Needham Rollover Crash

NEWTON, MA — A Newton North High School senior has been identified as the victim in Wednesday's fatal Needham rollover crash, reported 7 News Boston.

Needham Police and Fire Departments responded to the crash around 4:24 p.m. near Forest Street and Rolling Lane. Both drivers were transported to Beth Israel Needham.

Dylan Newman, 18, was pronounced dead at the hospital. There were no passengers in either car.

“As we all deal with the loss of a classmate, it is important to know that death affects each of us in different ways,” Newton North Principal Henry Turner said in an email to families. “We should expect and accept a variety of emotions and behaviors in ourselves and others, ranging from immediate and acute reactions to little or no response. Sometimes hearing of a death will remind us of previous losses in our lives, which can also impact how we react.”

Turner advised students to reach out to their school counselor or another trusted adult and said the school will be collecting notes from students to give to Newman’s family.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
