WELLESLEY - The Babson College student, killed along with a companion when his Porsche Cayman struck a tree on Forest Street April 24, had been racing with another luxury car whose driver will be cited, police said.
"It appears that there were two vehicles (involved) - the one that crashed, and another that was racing," said police spokeswoman Sgt. Marie Cleary.
The 19-year-old Babson student who was driving the second car, a BMW, will face two criminal citations and one motor vehicle citation, Cleary said.
The student, whom police did not identify, is charged with racing a motor vehicle, negligent operation of a motor vehicle and failure to stay within marked lines. There is no indication that drugs or alcohol were involved. The case will be heard in Dedham District Court.
Killed in the crash Ishfaq Moinuddin, 20, of Bangladesh, and Angad Sawhney, 19, of New Jersey, according to authorities.
Shortly before midnight, Moinuddin apparently lost control of his car and crashed into a tree on Forest Street, less than a mile from the Babson campus. The car was enveloped in flames by the time police arrived.
The two were returning from a late-night snack at McDonald's with some friends, who were following Moinuddin's car.
The two cars never made contact, said Cleary.
"Our decision to issue a criminal citation is the result of a thorough investigation," including many witness interviews and accident analysis by the Accident Reconstruction Team, Cleary said.
The results of the Accident Reconstruction Team report will not become available to the public until the case goes to court, but Cleary said the Porsche was "definitely traveling at a significant rate of speed."
