Pepperell Police Cite Teen Following Motor Vehicle Crash

PEPPERELL — Chief David Scott reports that the Pepperell Police Department cited a driver following a motor vehicle crash with injuries this morning.

An 18-year-old male from Nashua, N.H. was cited for Negligent Operation of a Motor Vehicle, Speeding and Failing to Stop at a Stop Sign.

At approximately 9 a.m., Pepperell Police received a report of a two-car motor vehicle crash on East Street at Lowell Road (Route 113).

Upon arrival to the scene, police learned that the 18-year-old man was driving a 2018 Honda CRV and traveling northbound on East Street when he allegedly ran a stop sign at the intersection of Lowell Road. He then collided with a 72-year-old Pepperell woman in a 2017 Toyota Corolla, who was heading east on Lowell Road.

The crash pushed the Toyota parallel to the northbound side of East Street, where it then traveled 75 feet, eventually landing in the woods.

Pepperell Police and Fire used rescue tools to extricate the woman, who suffered serious injuries and was taken via ambulance to an area hospital.

The 18-year-old man declined medical treatment on scene.

Both cars were towed from the scene.

The crash remains under investigation by the Pepperell Police Department and Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section.

Pepperell Fire Department Responds to Fatal Multi-Alarm Fire

PEPPERELL — Chief Brian Borneman reports that the Pepperell Fire Department responded to a fatal, multi-alarm fire this morning.

At 8:35 a.m., an off-duty Pepperell Fire lieutenant reported to Pepperell Dispatch that smoke and flames were showing from the front of 50 Main St. Pepperell Fire and Police responded and immediately requested a second alarm. Soon after, they escalated it to four alarms after observing heavy smoke and flames coming from the building.

Pepperell firefighters initiated an attack and, with the support of firefighters from 13 surrounding communities, worked to knock down the flames. An adult female died as a result of the fire.

The residents of the six unit apartment building were displaced by the fire.

Five people — one resident and four firefighters — were transported to area hospitals with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.

“This was a very involved fire that required significant manpower to bring under control,” Chief Borneman said. “I’m grateful for the work of all our partner agencies who supported the response effort, as well as the State Fire Marshal’s Office and District Attorney’s Office for their leadership in investigating.”

Mutual aid was provided by agencies from Tyngsborough, Devens, Shirley, Ashby, Townsend, Groton, Ayer, Dunstable, Westford, Littleton and Lunenburg in Massachusetts, as well as Nashua, Brookline and Hollis in New Hampshire.

Following an initial investigation, the cause of the fire is not believed to be suspicious.

The full circumstances of the fire remain under investigation by the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office and the State Fire Marshal’s Office.

That being said, we have zero tolerance for people distributing drugs in our town and will continue to investigate and apprehend those involved in that activity.”

The Pepperell Police Department offers assistance to anyone suffering from a mental health or a substance use disorder through its COIN program. For more information, call 508-488-5072.
