RANDOLPH — Among the scores of first responders who answered the call for assistance at the scene of the worst motorcycle accident in the state’s history this June were local neurologist Dr. Beatrice Engstrand and her son James Engstrand.
The pair said they could not have anticipated the scene they found when they arrived after receiving a call for the doctor’s assistance.
