The passenger had to be rescued by firefighters.

“She wasn’t physically trapped but medically trapped in the vehicle,” MFS firefighter Paul Moran said at the time.

“We removed the driver’s side of the car and were able to slide her out.”

On Friday, Magistrate Justin Wickens placed Bosley on simple bail and committed the charge to the District Court next month.
