MV1 was traveling southbound on Walnut St when the operator, Saptarshi Ganguly, stated that he began to feel fatigued, believed he blacked out and then woke up after impact with MV2. Mr. Ganguly stated that he takes Atenolol for vasovagal syncope. I know this to be a condition that makes individuals feel like they are going to faint. He stated he was diagnosed with the disorder about 10 years ago. MV1 crossed over the double yellow lines on Walnut St and collided head-on with MV2 who was traveling northbound on Walnut St. Two witnesses (Kyle Fieleke and Edward Aybar) at the scene corroborated the story and said that MV1, in a 2015 BMW X535I, MA Reg: 668BG5 veered into the opposite lane and hit MV2 head-on, a 2018 Tesla Model3, MA Reg: EV585N. MV1 operator, Saptarshi Ganguly, was issued MA Uniform Citation T1440468 for 89/4a for Marked Lane Violation. A Request for Medical Evaluation form was filled out for Saptarshi Ganguly and faxed to the MA RMV at 857-368-0018 as I am unable to determine his driving ability. Both operators were transported to Newton Wellesley Hospital to be evaluated. Both vehicles had extensive front end damage and were towed by Tody's towing.
