Chelmsford Police Department Responds to Head-On Collision

CHELMSFORD – Chief James Spinney reports that the Chelmsford Police Department responded to a head-on crash involving a sedan and a dump truck earlier today.

At 12:45 p.m., Chelmsford Police and Fire were dispatched to the area of 77 Littleton Road (Route 110) for a report of a head-on collision. Upon arrival, first responders located a 2019 Toyota Corolla that had crashed into the front end of an oncoming dump truck.

The 28-year-old Fitchburg woman who had been driving the Corolla suffered serious injuries that are not believed to be life threatening as a result of the crash. She was taken by medical helicopter to a Boston hospital and was conscious and alert prior to departing the crash scene.

The 45-year-old Nashua man driving the dump truck was not injured in the crash. The cause of the crash remains under investigation by the Chelmsford Police Department Accident Reconstruction Unit.

Littleton Road remains closed in the area of the crash due to the ongoing investigation, and traffic is expected to be detoured around the area for several hours.

Photos: Chelmsford Police Demonstrate Dangers of Drunk Driving With Mock Crash Display

CHELMSFORD – Police Chief James Spinney reports that the Chelmsford Police Department held its yearly simulation of a fatal automobile crash at Chelmsford High School today.

The annual event is designed to demonstrate the serious dangers of drinking and driving as many of the juniors and seniors in the audience are getting behind the wheel alone for the first time and looking ahead to school dances and summer vacation.

During the event, two cars were placed together as if they had crashed. Student actors then portrayed a drunk driver and passengers, including one who was not wearing their seat-belt and was ejected from the vehicle and killed in the crash.

Police, firefighters and EMS personnel were on scene to simulate the response to and investigation of the mock crash. The friends of the deceased mock victim reacted to the tragedy unfolding around them, while one of the drivers was placed under arrest after police determined they were intoxicated.

Finally, a hearse came to carry away the body of the deceased victim as the students looked on.

“You can’t overstate the importance of being safe and making smart decisions,” Chief Spinney said. “This event is a realistic and powerful reminder for students of just how significant an impact one poor choice — like the choice to drink and drive — can have on their lives and the lives of others.”

At the conclusion of the crash demonstration, students returned to the school auditorium for an in-depth discussion of the importance of responsible decision making.

The simulation was the result of a partnership of the Chelmsford Police and Fire Departments, Chelmsford Public Schools, Trinity EMS, Greater Lowell Paramedics, Dolan’s Funeral Home, and Christopher’s Towing. Maura Devaney, a CHS health teacher and Christine Lima, a guidance counselor, organize the event every year.
