The suspect who fled the motor vehicle stop last night, and was determined to be deceased after rolling the motor vehicle he was driving over the sea wall on Quincy Shore Drive, is identified as PETER J. BOYLAN, 50, of Quincy. He was operating a 2003 Mercedes E320W sedan.

His passenger, who was ejected and transported to Boston Medical Center, is a 27-year-old Quincy woman.

The vehicles that BOYLAN struck while fleeing were a 2016 Toyota Camry and a 2012 Toyota Highlander utility vehicle. The operator of the Highlander is a 36-year-old Quincy male who was also transported to Boston Medical Center. The operator of the Camry is a 54-year-old Quincy woman who was not injured.

Preliminary investigation indicates that BOYLAN fled a motor vehicle stop being conducted by a State Trooper on Quincy Shore Drive, drove southbound on that road at a high rate of speed, crossed the median and struck the Camry and the Highlander. The suspect’s Mercedes then struck the curb, went airborne, and rolled over the sea wall onto the beach, an approximate 10-foot drop. The reason for the initial stop of the Mercedes was motor vehicle violations.

The crash remains under investigation by Troop H of the Massachusetts State Police with assistance from the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section, the State Police Crime Scene Services Section, and the State Police Detective Unit for Norfolk County. No further information is being released at this time.
