The Hopkinton Police are actively investing a motor vehicle crash in the area of 112 Hayden Rowe Street. At 10:03 am our communications center received multiple calls reporting a crash at this location. One of the callers was a mother reporting her children had been struck by a vehicle while she was pushing the stroller across the street. She also reported that her son was bleeding from his head.
Police Officers responded with the Hopkinton Fire Department Ambulance. Public Safety personnel found everyone involved in the crash to be conscious and alert. The mother who was from Hopkinton and her children were transported to the hospital as well the operator of the vehicle that struck the rear of the lead car.
Preliminary investigation and witness statements have revealed that a 61 year old female operator from Hopedale traveling Northbound stopped to allow a mother and three children to cross within a crosswalk from the East. It is believed at this time that the lead vehicle was then struck in the rear by a vehicle operated by a 32 year old Milford man traveling Northbound as well. The female operator's vehicle was then propelled off the roadway. The vehicle operated by the Milford man then continued on and struck the stroller, according to witness statements.
The Hopkinton Police Department is working with the Massachusetts State Police Accident Reconstruction Team on this investigation. The Middlesex District Attorney's Office has been contacted and an Assistant District Attorney has been assigned.
