Ardan's wife, Mary, 60, is currently in critical condition.

She was taken to Cape Cod Hospital, and then to Brigham and Women's Hospital, where she is battling life-threatening injuries.

"Just pray for this family because they're a wonderful family," family friend Mike Morehead said. "It's devastating. His son is getting married next month."

"The most awful sound I've ever heard," said one neighbor, describing the collision. "It was so loud, we didn't know what it was."
