Fatal Needham Crash Investigation Will Take Time

NEEDHAM, MA — It will be some time before we know the cause behind a crash that took the lives of two Needham High School students.

The investigation into the deaths of Talia Newfield and Adrienne Garrido remains ongoing, according to the Norfolk County District Attorney's office. The two were struck while crossing Webster Street near Needham High School Feb. 10. Both died from their injuries.

Investigators are focused on two drivers but not much else is known. David Traub, a spokesperson for the DA, said a report from the collision analysis and reconstruction section of the state police can take about four months to be finalize and it's not unusual for it to take up to six months.

No charges have been filed.

The crash has caused heartbreak across Needham. The selectmen announced shortly after the crash that they will have a meeting in March on pedestrian safety.
