An 18-year-old woman involved in a multi-vehicle drunken crash in Braintree earlier this month has died, the Norfolk County District Attorney’s office said Wednesday.
Alexia Nixon, of Weymouth, passed away from the injuries she sustained in a crash on Union Street on December 1.
Ryan Gorman, 39, of Holbrook is accused of crashing head-on into the SUV Nixion was riding in. Another passenger in the vehicle was hospitalized with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
Gorman has pleaded not guilty to three counts of driving under the influence of alcohol causing serious bodily injury, one count of driving negligently so as to endanger and one count of failing to drive within marked lanes.
“The Norfolk District Attorney’s Office and Braintree Police Department extend our heartfelt condolences to Alexia’s family,” Norfolk County District Attorney Michael Morrissey and Braintree Police Chief Timothy Cohoon said in a statement.
Gorman is expected to next appear in Quincy District Court on January 2.
