Fatal Royalston Multi-Vehicle Crash Death of Paul Sliwinski – Obituary
Paul Sliwinski, 69, of Auburn, has sadly passed away following a devastating multi-vehicle accident in Royalston on July 16.
Sliwinski was a passenger in one of the vehicles involved in the crash on Athol Road. The cause of the accident is still under investigation, with no further details available at this time.
The Royalston Police, the Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis & Reconstruction Section, and the State Police Detectives from the Worcester County DA’s Office are currently investigating the incident.
Police Chief Curtis Deveneau stated that the crash was reported at 2:22 p.m. on July 16. A vehicle traveling south on Athol Road was struck by a northbound vehicle, which had lost control, hitting a utility pole, a guardrail, and then the southbound vehicle. Sliwinski was one of two passengers in the northbound vehicle, and the driver lost control before the collision.
Emergency responders had to extricate two people from the wreckage, and three victims, including Sliwinski, were transported to Athol Hospital. Sliwinski was pronounced dead at the scene. Chief Deveneau noted that the posted speed limit is 35 mph and the road becomes narrower in that area, which might have contributed to the crash.
