Boston Road scene of pedestrian accident with injuries

On behalf of posted in Pedestrian Accidents on Wednesday October 17, 2012

A Google map gives us a bird's eye view of the intersection of Boston Road and Colden Avenue. It is a mixed use neighborhood with single-family homes, low-rise apartment buildings, retail shops and a few small industrial buildings. Boston Road cuts across Colden Avenue at an angle, but there are clearly marked crosswalks and traffic lights. Given those facts, what could be the cause of pedestrian accident? According to news sources, a 12-year-old girl was in a crosswalk when she was struck by a car and seriously injured. The accident reportedly took place at 7:00 in the morning, which would…

On behalf of posted in Motorcycle Accidents on Tuesday August 7, 2012

Typically when a car and a motorcycle are involved in an accident, the motorcyclist is the driver with more serious injuries, but is not the one who caused the accident. Recently on Pine Hills, just outside of Manomet, a motorcyclist lost control of his bike and was in a collision with a sedan. In this case, the motorcyclist seems to have caused the accident that resulted in serious personal injuries for the biker, and less serious injuries for the driver of the sedan. The accident reportedly took place at about 7:15 in the evening. Prior to the accident, a police…

In Boston we may not like to think of our local police force as misbehaving or having the same types of problems that others among us may have. However, it happens. Police officers make mistakes and do not behave as they should -- sometimes with serious consequences. Recently it was widely reported that a police officer who was allegedly driving while drunk, rammed his Toyota Tundra into a Honda Accord driven by a 36-year-old woman. The 36-year-old was seriously injured in the accident and the officer suffered minor injuries. When the officer was admitted to the hospital, his blood alcohol concentration…

On behalf of posted in Motorcycle Accidents on Monday June 25, 2012

Motorcyclists understand that the most dangerous part of riding a motorcycle, are the car and truck drivers sharing the road with the bikers. A well-known bumper sticker reads: "Start seeing motorcycles," but there are still accidents caused by inattentive drivers. Sadly, an accident occurred in Foxborough recently which killed a motorcyclist and resulted in critical injuries to his passenger. It is also likely to change the life of the 24-year-old driver of the van that is reportedly at fault in the fatal motorcycle accident. According to news sources, the accident took place in the intersection of Central Street and Leonard Street…
