"South Dennis- The call came in to Dennis Fire headquarters at 6:02 p.m. Saturday reporting a crash near the entrance to Robert Childs Inc., on Great Western Road in South Dennis near the Harwich town line.

Witnesses at the scene report that an Acura Legend was headed westbound on Great Western Road and was apparently about to turn left into the Childs entrance road when it was struck by a Massachusetts State Police cruiser, also traveling westbound reportedly at a high rate of speed according to witnesses. It could not immediately be confirmed if the cruiser was responding to an emergency at the time of the crash.

The cruiser had attempted to pass the Acura on the left. The impact spun the Acura 180 degrees and sent the cruiser over the curb and into a tree on the right-hand side of the road, about 100 yards from the collision. The driver of the Acura was transported to Cape Cod Hospital by Harwich ambulance. The trooper Steven Culver was treated and released at Cape Cod Hospital. Dennis, Harwich, and State Police were all on the scene. The crash remains under investigation. (Story and photos by Kevin Morley)"

" — City police have identified a man who died in an automobile accident that closed Boynton Beach Boulevard in both directions just west of the Interstate 95 overpass for nearly four hours Friday afternoon.
Police identified the man as (Censored), 79, of Boynton Beach.
The crash, which involved five vehicles and a trailer, occurred at about 2:35 p.m. Friday. Two other people involved in the crash were taken to Bethesda Memorial Hospital with minor injuries, police spokeswoman Stephanie Slater said.
Pierre was behind the wheel of a gold four-door Acura headed westbound on Boynton Beach Boulevard at a high rate of speed, city police Sgt. Rich McNevin said. When the car reached the intersection of Old Boynton Road, the traffic signal was red, but the Acura kept going and "plowed" into the back of a pick-up truck that had stopped for the red light, McNevin said.
The collision sent both vehicles into the intersection, where they hit several other vehicles, including some that were crossing the intersection to drive eastbound on Boynton Beach Boulevard, police said.
According to information released Friday night, the pickup struck a second truck. Pierre's Acura struck the trailer on another vehicle. The trailer then hit a fifth vehicle.
The occupants of that vehicle were the ones taken to the hospital with minor injuries.
City police will consider whether Pierre had a medical episode prior to the crashes.
Frank Kuzak, 64, of Boynton Beach was preparing to turn north from Boynton Beach Boulevard onto Old Boynton Road when the front left side of his car was struck. He said he thinks something had happened to the driver of the Acura because he didn't appear to make any effort to stop.
"No squealing. Nothing," Kuzak said. "All I heard is crash."
Boynton Beach Boulevard was closed westbound from Industrial Way and eastbound to the 800 block near the Casablanca Isles community while officers investigated the crash."
