On behalf of posted in Pedestrian Accidents on Friday November 2, 2012

According to a bird's-eye view from Google maps, the intersection of Wilbur Avenue and Harvard Street in Swansea, is a T intersection where Harvard Street dead ends at Wilbur. There are run down sidewalks, faded crosswalk markings on Harvard Street and a moderate shoulder for the two lane roads. It was at this intersection at about 7:29 in the evening when a pedestrian crossing Wilbur Street was struck by a car driven by a 58-year-old woman. The 44-year-old pedestrian suffered head and leg injuries and that were described as being severe. Head injuries can be very serious, even when there…

When a motorcycle or truck accident occurs in Boston or anywhere and someone is injured, it may be only the injured person who knows what happened to cause the accident. If the injured person is unconscious, it may be left up to an accident reconstruction team to try and figure out what happened in a motor vehicle accident. Recently a motorcyclist and a box truck were involved in a collision in Middleton. The biker suffered serious injuries in the bike and truck accident, and thus may be unable to describe the events at this time. An accident reconstruction team was called…

A man driving a blue minivan and a woman driving a blue SUV were in a car collision that caused heavy damage…

Allegedly negligent motorcyclist injures self, 1 other

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…

Golden Hill Avenue in Haverhill, Massachusetts, as seen from satellite images, looks like a typical tree-lined road that winds its way through a suburban neighborhood. The speed limit is reported to be 30 miles per hour. A car was travelling on that road, perhaps at the speed limit, when a young boy on his bike exited off Moody Street, to proceed onto Golden Hill Avenue.

The bicycle and car accident took place at about 3:00 in the…

On behalf of posted in car accidents on Friday June 15, 2012

More and more often, in all areas of the country, bicyclists are sharing the road with cars and trucks. Massachusetts is no exception. Recently, a pickup truck and a bicyclist were involved in an accident with injuries near the intersection of Falmouth Heights and Alma, in Falmouth, Massachusetts. The 18-year-old cyclist was injured and the truck driver was not. According to news sources, the accident took place at about 7 p.m. so daylight visibility should not have been a factor. The bicyclist and the truck were both traveling in the same direction on the same side of the street, as the rules…
