Woman Crashes Car Through Hospital Entrance Killing Two

A 76-year-old woman smashed her car into a hospital entrance killing a doctor and a secretary. Jane Berghold, of Brockton, Massachusetts, recently had the brakes on her car worked on, and they may have failed at the time of the crash. Berghold was diagnosed with breast cancer in April and was going to the Brockton Hospital's Radiation Therapy Unit for a consultation.

The chief of radiation therapy, Dr. Mark Vasa, 58, died at the scene. Witnesses say he was trying to push people out of the way when he was hit. Susan Plante, 60, the center's secretary, died Monday night at a Boston hospital, and two other staff members were injured.

Berghold was not charged in the incident.
