Bridgewater Police and Fire Departments Respond to Pedestrian Crash

BRIDGEWATER — Police Chief Christopher Delmonte and Fire Chief Thomas Levy report that the Bridgewater Police and Fire Departments responded to a crash involving a pedestrian Thursday night.

At approximately 7 p.m., the Bridgewater Police and Fire Departments responded to a report of a motor vehicle crash involving a pedestrian on Plymouth Street (Route 104) in the area of Waterford Village Apartments. After an initial investigation, police learned that the pedestrian, a 26-year-old Marshfield man, was walking west on Plymouth Street on the sidewalk when he took a left hand turn and walked in front of an oncoming vehicle, a 1993 BMW, also traveling west.

The driver of the BMW, a 21-year-old man from Cotuit, was unable to stop the car and struck the pedestrian, who was not using a crosswalk at the time of the crash. The Marshfield man was thrown approximately 10 feet by the crash, and sustained injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening. He was taken by a Bridgewater ambulance to Good Samaritan Hospital.

The Cotuit man driving the BMW remained on scene.

The crash remains under investigation by Bridgewater Police, and no charges have been filed against the operator of the motor vehicle.

Bridgewater Police and Fire Departments Provide Update on Halloween Festivities Following Weekend Storm

BRIDGEWATER — Police Chief Christopher D. Delmonte and Fire Chief Thomas Levy report that trick-or-treating will go on tonight as scheduled, though families are asked to go out only in areas that have power.

Crews from National Grid and Columbia Gas are actively working throughout town to restore power and gas utilities to all residents, but service is expected to remain inconsistent throughout the evening. As a result, Chief Delmonte and Chief Levy urge trick-or-treaters to avoid streets that do not have adequate lighting.

Trick-or-treaters are urged to wear reflective clothing and use flashlights, and be cautious in dark areas.

“We hope that families will exercise caution tonight while they are out enjoying Halloween,” Chief Delmonte said. “Children will be able to celebrate Halloween tonight, but it’s essential that trick-or-treaters only go out in areas that have power and are well-lit.”

“It’s fortunate that this storm did not require trick-or-treating to be postponed,” Chief Levy said. “However, we want to emphasize the importance of remaining careful and exercising common sense when choosing an area of town to celebrate tonight.”

Motorists should be alert and on the lookout for children in all parts of town this evening, and be aware that Bridgewater Police will be strictly enforcing speed limits.

Bridgewater Fire And Police Departments Respond to Explosion 

BRIDGEWATER — Fire Chief Tom Levy and Police Chief Christopher D. Delmonte report that the Bridgewater Police and Fire Departments responded to an explosion on Scotland Boulevard this morning.

At 11:32 a.m., police and fire units responded to numerous 911 calls reporting an explosion and a possible fire at Fibertec Inc., located in an industrial park at 35 Scotland Blvd. As units arrived, they observed smoke coming from the building as well as significant damage to the interior of the building.

First responders quickly determined that the building had been evacuated and that one male employee suffered injuries as a result of the explosion and was transported to a Boston hospital. A firefighter was treated at the scene.

“We are still actively investigating the cause of the explosion,” Chief Levy said. “I commend the firefighters and police officers who quickly worked to ensure that employees were safely evacuated and the scene was secured.”

There is no additional threat at this time, and the damage was contained to the Fibertec building. As a precaution, electric and gas utilities were shut off at the scene.
