Authorities believe Lindora DaSilva failed to stop her car at the corner of Standish and Grafton Street just before 3:30 p.m. and pulled into the path of an oncoming Ford Fusion, police said. The impact threw DaSilva's Honda into the side of a Lexus.
The driver and passenger in the Honda were trapped inside their wrecked car, and firefighters had to cut them out and rush them to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said. Officials haven't released an update on their condition.
Police charged DaSilva with driving without a license and other traffic violations, authorities said.
Police are still investigating the crash.
