A Lowell man is facing a slew of charges stemming from a head-on car crash Wednesday in Wilmington that put both him and the other driver in the hospital.
Wilmington police said in a news release that they got a call about a two-car crash on Main Street near the Woburn town line Wednesday evening at 6:39 p.m.
At the scene, police said, officers found what appeared to be a head-on collision between a 2019 GMC Yukon and a 2018 Audi A3. Both drivers had to be extricated from their vehicles by the Woburn Fire Department due to the severity of the crash.
The driver of the GMC, a 44-year-old Woburn woman, was seriously injured in the crash, police said. The driver of the Audi, a 33-year-old Lowell man, was critically injured. Both were taken to Lahey Clinic for treatment.
