SOUTHBOROUGH — Chief Ryan Newell reports that the Southborough Police Department arrested a New Hampshire man following an early morning crash Tuesday.
At a local hospital following the crash, ILYASS NABIH, AGE 38, of NASHUA, NEW HAMPSHIRE, was arrested and charged with the following:
- Operation of a Motor Vehicle with Suspended License
- Marked Lanes Violation
- Operating Under the Influence of Liquor
- Negligent Operation of Motor Vehicle
- Possession of a Stolen Motor Vehicle
- Use of a Motor Vehicle Without Authority
Following several 911 emergency calls on Tuesday, Jan. 20, at 3:33 a.m., Southborough Police Patrolman Jeffery Mayer and Sgt. Jeffrey Norton responded to a reported crash at the intersection of Turnpike Road (Route 9 West) and Middle Road.
Upon arrival, Officer Mayer and Sgt. Norton found an impassable intersection strewn with vehicle parts and two badly damaged vehicles.
A black 2007 Mazda 3 had extremely heavy front-end and driver-side damage. The windshield was completely broken with a noticeable “star” type pattern consistent with the driver’s face/head striking the glass. The steering wheel was crushed and pushed toward the dashboard. Police found NABIH on the passenger seat with his feet in the driver’s foot well. A preliminary investigation indicated NABIH was driving the vehicle but not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash.
NABIH was the sole occupant. Police detected the odor of alcohol.
A second vehicle, a gray 2010 Honda Prius with moderate front-end damage, was located further up the road.
Southborough EMS arrived on the scene and transported NABIH to the hospital for treatment. Dispatch notified the responding officers that the Mazda that NABIH was driving had been reported stolen in Worcester on Jan. 17.
A preliminary investigation determined the Mazda had crashed into the median at a high rate of speed, then struck the Prius.
Southborough Police also learned that NABIH was wanted on a Fugitive from Justice Warrant from Hillsborough County, N.H., Superior Court, and had five (5) outstanding warrants from district courts in Lawrence, Lowell and Ayer.
A Southborough Police investigation into the crash remains ongoing.
These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
