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.

NEWPORT, Vermont — Chief Seth DiSanto reports that Newport Police arrested a local mother after she allegedly ran a woman over with her van yesterday.

On Monday, May 20, at approximately 7:45 p.m., Newport Police responded to a report of a crash involving a vehicle and pedestrian in the Waterfront Plaza area.

Upon arrival, police found a 35-year-old Orleans woman on the ground behind a van. She was conscious and alert, but had suffered serious injuries. The victim was taken by ambulance to a local hospital, and later airlifted to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in New Hampshire.

The victim was in serious but stable condition on Tuesday morning.

After a preliminary investigation on scene, police learned that the driver of the vehicle, identified as DONOFRIO, had been confronted by the victim and another woman, who had become concerned when they observed that DONOFRIO had left her four children inside the van while she went into a store. Prior to the crash, the two women were in the process of calling the police.

DONOFRIO was booked at the Newport Police Department. She is expected to be arraigned in Orleans District Court today.

Chelmsford Mother Seriously Injured after Child Accidentally Puts Vehicle in Reverse

Chelmsford Police Sgt. Jason Poor will be available to the news media at 2 p.m. at the Chelmsford Police Department training room.

CHELMSFORD — Chief James Spinney reports that the Chelmsford Police Department is investigating after a local mother was struck and dragged by her own vehicle after her child apparently put the car into reverse by accident while the mother was loading the vehicle.

Chelmsford Police and Fire responded at 10 a.m. to a house on North Road for a report of a pedestrian struck by a vehicle. Upon arrival, officers found a woman suffering from traumatic injuries.

The victim, a 37-year-old Chelmsford woman who lives at that residence, was taken by ambulance to a landing zone and then transported by medical helicopter to a Boston hospital with serious injuries. The victim was conscious and able to speak to first responders, however.

The investigation thus far indicates that this incident was an accident and that the woman’s 9-year-old son accidentally shifted the car into reverse. The mother, who was standing at the open driver’s side front door, got caught inside the door and tried to dive for the brake pedal, but was pinned and then run over by the vehicle.

The vehicle continued down the driveway and crossed busy North Road, which is also Rt. 4, before it struck a rock wall opposite the house at a low rate of speed. The child was not injured.

“This appears to be a terrible accident. The mother sustained serious injuries but is expected to survive at this time,” Chief Spinney said. “Thankfully, the child was not also injured as the vehicle rolled across the busy roadway.”

The incident is under investigation by the Chelmsford Police Department.
