A GoFundMe was started on behalf of Aidan McElhinney who was injured last Wednesday in a Lockeland Rd. car accident and is suffering life-threatening injuries.  McElhinney graduated from Winchester High School in June, and is in the ICU at Lahey Medical Center.  According to local resident Mary Drummond who organized the go-fund-me, “In addition to this tragic situation, this family also lost use of their home in April due to a house fire,” on LaGrange St.  The family is currently living in Arlington while the house is being rebuilt.
