Attleboro Fire Department Responds to Serious Rollover Crash

ATTLEBORO — Chief Scott T. Lachance reports that the Attleboro Fire Department responded to a serious motor vehicle crash early Thursday morning where two people were injured.

Shortly before 1 a.m., Attleboro Fire responded to the intersection of Thatcher Street and South Main Street for a report of a rollover crash.

Upon arrival, firefighters came upon a Jaguar sedan convertible that had crashed and come to rest on its roof.

A woman passenger, believed to be in her 30s, was trapped in the back seat of the vehicle and was unconscious.

Firefighters used a hydraulic extrication rescue tool to free the woman from the vehicle. Due to the heavy damage and the vehicle being on its roof, it took firefighters about 20 minutes to safely free the woman.

She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital with what are believed to be life threatening injuries.

A male driver, also in his late 30s, was able to get himself out from under the vehicle before firefighters arrived on scene. The man was taken to the hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life threatening.

The man and woman were the only occupants of the vehicle and no other vehicles were involved in the crash.

Attleboro Police also responded to close off the roads and investigate the cause of the crash.

Both roads were closed for more than an hour while crews worked to assist the victims and investigate the crash. The roads have since been reopened.

Raynham Police Investigating Break In at House

RAYNHAM — Chief James Donovan reports that the Raynham Police Department is investigating a break-in at a house on Wednesday and is seeking the public’s help in identifying the suspect’s vehicle.

At approximately 3:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 31, Raynham Police responded to a home on South Main Street for a report of a break-in.

Several items were taken from the home and a neighbor reported seeing a suspicious van in the driveway.

The vehicle was described as a white work van, with a yellow stripe on each side that ran along the length of the vehicle. Near the end of each yellow stripe, close to the rear of the van, was lettering that the witness could not make out.

Also, near the rear of the van on the driver’s side were stickers that appeared to be symbols in the shape of a fan.

The neighbor described the suspect as a man of small stature, but could not provide any additional information.

Anyone who is able to identify this man or his vehicle, or anyone who witnessed suspicious activity in the area is asked to call the Raynham Police Department at 508-824-2716.
