A Brookline man was killed on Monday morning when his car went off the road and struck a tree.

According to Wilton Police, Chauncey Talcott, 20, of Brookline was traveling east on Route 101 near Wilton Center Road in a 1997 Honda when the accident occurred. Talcott’s vehicle reportedly went off the right side of the road, then veered back onto Route 101, crossing both lines of traffic before crashing into a tree on the left side of the road, police said.

Talcott was transported to Monadnock Community Hospital in Peterborough, where he was pronounced dead.

Before the accident, according to police, a witness noticed that the Honda was weaving in the roadway.

“I do not believe that speed or alcohol were factors at this time,” said Wilton Police Chief Brent Hautanen. The chief also said there is no evidence to indicate that drugs were a factor either, but he added he will have to wait for the medical examiner’s office to complete its investigation before making that final determination.
