Overview
- Firefighters and police responded to an early-morning head-on collision near 555 Pond Street that forced authorities to close a section of the road while crews assisted the occupants and cleared the scene.
- Two vehicles were involved, each driven by a man; one driver in his 40s exited his car on his own and the other in his 20s had to be helped from his vehicle.
- Both men were taken to South Shore Hospital in Weymouth and the younger driver was later transferred to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston for surgery to treat facial lacerations.
- Officials reopened the closed portion of Pond Street after emergency crews cleared the scene and police continued their on-going investigation into the cause of the crash.
- Coverage links the crash to a recent fatal Concord head-on collision where prosecutors said a vehicle allegedly crossed a double yellow line, raising local concerns about lane violations and head-on crash causes.
