Bridgewater Police Investigating Pedestrian Crash at Post Office

BRIDGEWATER — Chief Christopher Delmonte reports that the Bridgewater Police Department is investigating a pedestrian crash that occurred in the post office parking lot Friday morning.

At approximately 11 a.m., the Bridgewater Police and Fire Departments responded to the Bridgewater Post Office, 169 Broad St., after receiving multiple 911 calls about a pedestrian that was struck by a motor vehicle.

Upon arrival, officers located a man injured on the ground in the rear parking lot of the building.

The victim, identified as Gary Moore, age 53, of Mansfield, was treated by Bridgewater Fire Department paramedics and was subsequently transported by ambulance to Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton. Moore suffered injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

Through an on-scene investigation, officers determined that the victim had been walking through the rear parking lot when the driver of a vehicle accidentally stepped on the gas instead of the brake pedal upon seeing the pedestrian.

The driver, identified as Dexter McDonald, age 84, of Bridgewater, continued through the parking lot after allegedly striking the victim and struck several shrubs before coming to a stop.

The incident is under investigation by the Bridgewater Police Department and as of Friday afternoon no citations or charges have been filed. Police have made a request with the Massachusetts Department of Motor Vehicles to have McDonald’s license status filed as an immediate threat.

Bridgewater Police to Participate in National Coffee with a Cop Day

BRIDGEWATER — Chief Christopher Delmonte is pleased to announce that the Bridgewater Police Department will be participating in National Coffee with a Cop Day next week.

“Coffee with a Cop is great way for our officers to meet with residents and get to know them on a more personal, informal level,” Chief Delmonte said. “We hope to see a lot of community members stop the Bridgewater McDonald’s next week.”

WHEN:

Wednesday, Oct. 3, from 9-10:30 a.m.

WHERE:

McDonald’s, 222 Broad St., Bridgewater

WHAT: 

Residents, business owners and community members are invited to meet with Bridgewater Police officers to engage in meaningful conversation over a cup of coffee — or two.

There is no set agenda for the event, but rather a chance for residents to meet the officers who serve their community, ask questions and express any concerns they may have.

McDonald’s franchise owner Mark McBee will be giving out a free small cup of coffee to those who attend.

“As a McDonald’s Owner/Operator, being involved in the community is the cornerstone of my business, and I look forward to hosting this event in partnership with Bridgewater Police Department,” McBee said. “I hope that community members will attend the Coffee with a Cop event and feel comfortable to ask questions, bring forward concerns, or simply get to know the officers that patrol our neighborhoods day in and day out.”

The event is part of National Coffee with a Cop Day, conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services.

The first Coffee with a Cop event was held in 2011 by the Hawthorne Police Department in California. The initiative has since spread globally as a simple but effective method of bringing police and communities together.

*UPDATED*

Bridgewater Police Investigating Fatal Crash on Route 18

BRIDGEWATER — Chief Christopher Delmonte reports that the Bridgewater Police Department is continuing their investigation into a motor vehicle crash between a sedan and a motorcycle on Bedford Street (Route 18) Thursday morning that resulted in the death of the motorcyclist.

The driver of the sedan, ANTHONY HATHAWAY, AGE 29, OF WHITMAN has been arrested and faces numerous charges including:

  • Motor Vehicle Homicide while Operating Under the Influence of Drugs
  • OUI Drugs
  • Endangering a Child while Operating Under the Influence of Drugs
  • Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle
  • Marked Lanes Violation

HATHAWAY was taken to the hospital for evaluation after the crash and has since been released and is in the custody of Bridgewater Police.

At approximately 11:50 a.m. Thursday, police, firefighters and paramedics responded to the area of 350 Bedford St. Upon arrival, rescuers found a Toyota sedan and motorcycle that had crashed. The motorcycle rider was found with serious, life-threatening injuries. The motorcycle rider was transported via Bridgewater Fire ambulance to Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton where he was pronounced dead.

The victim’s identity is not being released pending positive identification and notification of his next of kin.

HATHAWAY remained at the scene. An investigation determined he was under the influence of drugs, and he was arrested. Inside his vehicle was a 7-year-old boy, who was unharmed in the crash. The child has been placed in the care of his mother.

The initial investigation indicates that HATHAWAY was travelling northbound on Route 18 when he allegedly crossed the center line and drove into the southbound lane of traffic in order to pass the vehicle in front of him.

The motorcycle rider was travelling southbound when he was struck head-on by the sedan.

The crash is being investigated by the Bridgewater Police Department.

HATHAWAY will likely be arraigned Friday in Brockton District Court.

Route 18, from Cottage Street to Winter Street, will be closed in both directions for several hours while the crash is being investigated.

These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.
