East Bridgewater Police Investigating Rollover Crash at YMCA Involving Dump Truck

EAST BRIDGEWATER — Chief Scott Allen reports that the East Bridgewater Police Department is investigating a crash where a dump truck rolled over and struck multiple parked vehicles at the Old Colony YMCA Monday night.

At approximately 5 p.m., East Bridgewater Police received a report of a crash at the YMCA, 635 Plymouth St.

Upon arrival, a dump truck was on its side in the parking lot near the entrance of the YMCA and significant damage had been done to five parked vehicles. None of the parked vehicles were occupied at the time.

The truck was hauling a full load of sand when the crash occurred.

The driver of the truck, a man in his 50s, was not injured, but was taken to a local hospital for evaluation.

While the cause of the crash is currently under investigation, the initial investigation indicates that the truck driver had been driving down Plymouth Street when the vehicle in front of him stopped. The driver was unable to stop the truck and swerved off the side of the road. The truck struck the sign at the entrance of the YMCA parking lot and a utility pole.

No one was injured in the incident. The YMCA was open at the time and had several patrons inside.

Anyone who witnessed the crash is asked to call the East Bridgewater Police at 508-378-7223.

East Bridgewater Police Remind Residents to Leash Their Dogs

EAST BRIDGEWATER — Following recent incidents of people being bitten or scratched by loose dogs, Chief Scott Allen would like to remind residents to keep their dogs on leashes and abide by the town’s dog bylaws.

“While none of the incidents we have had recently resulted in serious injury, we want to remind residents of the town’s leash laws nonetheless,” Chief Allen said.

Dogs should be held firmly by a leash or tethering device that does not exceed six feet in length. It must also be of sufficient strength to control the actions of the dog.

Residents may face fines if they do not leash or properly restrain their dogs when not on the owner’s property.

The town’s animal control officer may apprehend and impound any dog that is in violation of the leash bylaws. Owners can retrieve impounded dogs after producing proof of a current dog license and rabies vaccine inoculation certificate.

Dog licenses are required for dogs over six months of age and are issued for a one year period each July. Dogs must have current rabies vaccine shots as well.

Dogs can be licensed in person at the Town Clerk’s office, by mail, or online. If residents have more questions, they can refer to East Bridgewater’s dog bylaws on page 20 of the town’s bylaws.

East Bridgewater Police Remind Residents of Social Host Law

EAST BRIDGEWATER — With senior prom approaching, Chief Scott Allen would like to remind East Bridgewater residents about the state’s social host law.

Parents and adults can face fines, jail time, or both if they provide alcohol to individuals under the age of 21. Minors can also face punishment for hosting parties at their parent’s homes without their knowledge.

“While some parents may think that hosting a prom party in their home and confiscating car keys from guests is a good idea, if the guests are drinking alcohol underage it is against the law and ultimately still unsafe,” Chief Allen said.

State law says that anyone who provides alcohol to a person under 21 years old can be fined up to $2,000 and face up to a year in prison.
