Easton Police and Fire Departments Respond to Crash Involving Motorcycle, Car

EASTON — Police Chief Gary Sullivan and Fire Chief Kevin Partridge report that the Easton Police and Fire Departments responded to a serious crash involving a motorcycle and a car on Monday afternoon.

At approximately 2:50 p.m., the Easton Police and Fire Departments responded to the area of 76 Highland St. for a report of a crash.

Upon arrival, first responders came upon the operator of a Suzuki motorcycle, Patrick Rooslet, age 35, of Norton. Rooslet was on the ground a short distance off the road with serious injuries.

Rooslet was transported by an Easton Fire Department ambulance to the Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical High School where he was subsequently picked up by a medical helicopter. He was then flown to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston.

Rooslet’s injuries were serious, but are not considered to be life threatening.

The driver of the Hyundai sedan involved in the crash, Kara Yifru, age 37, of Easton, was issued a citation for Failure to Yield to Oncoming Traffic. Yifru remained at the scene and was cooperative with police.

The crash remains under investigation by Officer Chris LaCount. The initial investigation indicates that Rooslet was travelling west on Highland Street when Yifru, travelling east on Highland Street, allegedly attempted to turn into a driveway, causing Rooslet to crash into her vehicle.

Yifru and her child passenger were both uninjured. Both vehicles sustained significant damage.

Through the investigation, it was determined that Rooslet was operating the motorcycle with suspended license and he was issued a citation as well.

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

Easton Police Investigating After Antique Cartridge Found at Middle School

School Deemed Safe After Brief Shelter in Place

EASTON — Police Chief Gary Sullivan and Superintendent Lisha Cabral report that the Easton Police Department is investigating after a single antique ammunition cartridge was found inside of the Easton Middle School Friday morning.

At this time, there is no reason to believe that there is an active threat to the school.

Out of an abundance of caution, a shelter in place was enacted while police thoroughly searched the school with officers and a K9. Classes went on as normal, but students were not allowed to go into the hallways to ensure that they did not come in contact with the K9. The shelter in place has since been lifted and no weapons or dangerous items were located in the search.

At approximately 8:30 a.m., a school staff member found the round of ammunition – an antique, corroded .22 caliber short rimfire round – in a storage area that has limited access to both students and staff. Easton Police have confirmed that this type of round has not been manufactured in over 50 years.

The staff member immediately notified school officials, who then contacted Easton Police.

No other schools were impacted by the incident and the school day will continue on as normal.
