Tragic Loss in Concord: Jimmy McIntosh and Hannah Wasserman Remembered by Concord-Carlisle High School Community
Concord, Massachusetts – April 2025
The town of Concord is cloaked in mourning following a heartbreaking car accident that claimed the lives of two beloved Concord-Carlisle High School students, Jimmy McIntosh and Hannah Wasserman. The tragic crash occurred late Saturday evening on a quiet stretch of road near the outskirts of town, sending shockwaves through the school and the wider community.
Jimmy and Hannah, both seniors on the brink of graduation, were remembered as vibrant, compassionate, and deeply cherished by their peers and teachers alike. Their lives, filled with promise and purpose, were cut short in a moment that has left an entire community grieving.
According to early reports, the accident took place near Sudbury Road when the vehicle they were in lost control and veered off the roadway. Emergency responders arrived swiftly, but despite their efforts, both teens were pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities are continuing to investigate the cause of the crash, with no immediate signs of foul play.
At Concord-Carlisle High School, the loss is profoundly felt. On Monday morning, grief counselors were on hand as students returned to the halls where Jimmy and Hannah once walked. An impromptu memorial blossomed outside the main entrance, with flowers, notes, photographs, and school spirit gear placed lovingly in tribute to their memory.
Jimmy McIntosh was known for his infectious laughter, quick wit, and a heart that welcomed everyone. A standout member of the school’s soccer team, he led with humility and inspired his teammates both on and off the field. Friends remember him as fiercely loyal, a natural leader with dreams of studying sports management after graduation.
Hannah Wasserman was a bright academic star with a passion for writing, a quiet strength, and a warm presence that lit up any room. As a member of the student council and a contributor to the school paper, Hannah was an advocate for kindness, inclusivity, and using her voice to uplift others. She had plans to attend a liberal arts college in the fall, where she hoped to major in journalism.
In a statement from the school principal, “We are heartbroken. Jimmy and Hannah were the kind of students who made Concord-Carlisle a better place. Their legacy is not defined by the way they left us, but by the lives they touched while they were here. Our hearts are with their families, friends, and all who loved them.”
A candlelight vigil is being planned by classmates for later this week on the school’s front lawn, where the community will gather to honor their lives, share memories, and find strength in unity.
In the days ahead, as Concord begins the difficult process of healing, one thing is certain: the lives of Jimmy McIntosh and Hannah Wasserman will never be forgotten. Their light remains in every corner of the school, in every story shared, and in the hearts of those who now carry their memory forward.
May Jimmy and Hannah rest in peace, and may their families find comfort in the love that surrounds them.
