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 to Receive Help from Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School Students for Building Project

BRIDGEWATER — Chief Christopher Delmonte would like to inform residents that construction is progressing on the BPD outbuilding that will replace two older storage sheds currently located in the parking lot behind the Bridgewater Police station.

The building will be used primarily for secure, weather-tight storage and garage space that will prevent freezing of equipment inside emergency response vehicles during the winter.

Earlier this year, Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School accepted the project as its 2019-2020 school construction project at no cost to the town.

Although some local trades for specific parts of the project will be utilized, the bulk of the work will be performed by B-P students during the course of this school year.

The anticipated completion date is the summer of 2020.

“We are very thankful to have been chosen by the Bristol-Plymouth Regional Technical School as their student building project for the year,” Chief Delmonte said. “We are excited to see how the project will progress in the coming months and seeing the great work the students will be doing. This space will be valuable as the two current sheds have been reinforced multiple times but must be replaced soon.”
