The incident occured Aug. 23, 2017, around 9:40 a.m. near exit 37 in Reading. The victim was Christopher Weisz, 42, of Bedford. DeWolfe was driving a 2008 Saab 93 sedan when she hit a car driven by an 85-year-old Natick woman. That vehicle, a 2005 Subaru Impreza, crashed into the jersey barrier and flipped around, facing southbound in the northbound lanes. The Impreza then traveled the wrong way and struck the motorcycle, a 1987 BMW K-100 RS, throwing Weisz from the bike.
