Overview
- A dashcam video posted to Reddit appears to show an individual in a construction vest, hard hat and a mask walking into a Hopkinton roadway while a car swerved to avoid them.
- The clip was first shared on the Massachusetts subreddit by user SadShock6569 and was later reposted by the Hopkinton Police Department on Facebook.
- Hopkinton police have opened an investigation and asked anyone with information to contact the department at 508-497-3401.
- The Reddit poster said the video came from a dashcam and that no trucks, cones or other signs of actual construction were present at the scene.
- Because the person’s identity and motive are unverified, police are treating the video as a developing safety matter and are relying on public tips to clarify whether this was a prank or a more serious act.
