Accident investigation could take several weeks

Accident investigation could take several weeks: "Bonney Burns, 61, of 361 Cabot St., was killed last Saturday morning when a Beverly police cruiser crashed into her parked Toyota Camry.

The driver of the police Crown Victoria, Officer Stuart Merry, 40, remains at Beverly Hospital with multiple, non-life-threatening injuries.

“We anticipate his release,” said Police Chief John Cassola, “but I can’t say exactly when. It’s likely he’ll be on crutches. He’s pretty banged up.”

The accident occurred at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, at the intersection of Columbus and Cabot streets, just up from the Brooks Pharmacy plaza. Stuart swerved suddenly, crossing the double yellow line and smashing into Burns’ Camry. Burns was the sole occupant."
