At the same time, according to a police report, a car driven by Hannah Holmes, 26, of Cabot was northbound on Route 356 and going around a slight bend in the road.
Langston's 2011 Ford Fusion and Holmes' 2014 Nissan Maxima collided. Langston's wife, 87-year-old Marjorie L. Langston, 87, a front-seat passenger, was critically injured.
