Man In High-Speed Braintree OUI Crash Pleads Not Guilty

BRAINTREE, MA — A Weymouth man involved in a Braintree car crash that allegedly resulted in a serious injury appeared in court Monday.

Randall Barbosa, 25, pleaded not guilty to causing serious injury while operating under the influence of liquor, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, and speeding. No additional bail was added to the $7,500 he was held on over the weekend and he was released on personal recognizance, according to court records.

State Police responded to the crash at exit 6 on Interstate 93 shortly after midnight Saturday. Police say a BMW rear-ended a 1997 Lexus ES300, which was merging into the left lane, then struck a 2006 Toyota Sequoia, which then struck a 2015 Toyota Camry.

The driver of the BMW, identified as Barbosa, allegedly had a strong order of alcohol on his breath and extremely bloodshot eyes, according to a police report. He was taken into custody following a series of failed sobriety tests. He was booked at the State Police's Milton barracks, where he registered a blood alcohol content level of 0.127, above the legal limit of 0.08.

A passenger in the BMW was transported to Boston Medical Center with serious injuries and a passenger in the Lexus was transported to South Shore Hospital with minor injuries. No one else involved in the crash sustained injuries.

I-93 was closed for a short period of time.

Barbosa was last arrested for an OUI in February 2016. That case was continued without a finding.

He is due back in court March 20.
