WEST NEWBURY — Chief Art Reed is pleased to announce that one of West Newbury’s public safety dispatchers is continuing her efforts to raise money for Boston Children’s Hospital through a road race later this month.

On Tuesday, July 31, Dispatcher Kelsey Grenham will be running the Yankee Homecoming 10 Mile Race in Newburyport. The race will be Grenham’s third run on behalf of Children’s Hospital’s Miles for Miracles program, which she’s supported since running the New York City Marathon in 2016.

“Kelsey is an inspiration to the entire department, and we’re all proud of her dedication to this amazing cause,” Chief Reed said. “We’re glad to continue to support her and Children’s Hospital to ensure that kids and families have access to the resources they need.”

Grenham also ran last year’s Falmouth Road Race to benefit the program, which uses fundraising dollars to support better quality of care for children and families, including free housing for families, free parking, language interpreters, research, birthday and holiday celebrations and more.

“I want to thank everyone, including my colleagues at the West Newbury Police Department and the Lt. Kenneth Fowler Foundation, who have been extremely supportive of Children’s Hospital through their continued generosity over the last few years,” Grenham said.

West Newbury Police and Fire Departments Respond After Pedestrian Struck

WEST NEWBURY — Police Chief Art Reed and Fire Chief Michael Dwyer report that the West Newbury Police and Fire Departments responded to Pentucket Regional High School this afternoon after a student was struck by a vehicle.

At approximately 2:20 p.m., West Newbury Police and Fire were dispatched to Pentucket Regional High School, 24 Main St., for a report of a pedestrian being hit by a car. Upon arrival, first responders located a 15-year-old male who had been struck by a vehicle and had suffered a leg injury that is serious but not believed to be life-threatening.

The male was treated on scene and subsequently transported by Atlantic Ambulance to a nearby hospital. A Merrimac Fire Department ambulance also responded to the scene to provide support.

An on-scene investigation indicates that a Jeep SUV, driven by a female, was traveling east on Route 113, when it struck the student, who was crossing the road with two of his friends. No one else was injured.

“Thanks to the quick response of school personnel and first responders, this young man was able to receive quality care quickly,” Chief Reed said. “I’m grateful for the immediate support provided by those on scene, and am hopeful that he will make a speedy recovery.”

West Newbury Police are actively investigating the incident. The driver of the vehicle involved in the crash remained on scene and is cooperating with the investigation.
