Authorities responded to a two-vehicle crash, followed by a hit pedestrian Friday night.
EASTON, Mass. (AP) — Five people were injured in two separate crashes in Easton on Friday night.
Police Chief Gary Sullivan and Fire Chief Kevin Partridge said Saturday that authorities responded to a two-vehicle crash at the entrance to Stonehill College around 10 p.m. Friday.
The driver of one of the vehicles, a 46-year-old female, was flown by medical helicopter to Bringham and Women’s Hospital in Boston with serious injuries.
Three children in that vehicle were transported to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The second driver wasn’t injured.
Officials in the town near the Rhode Island state line say they also responded to a report of a pedestrian hit by a car in the parking lot of Maguire’s Restaurant at around 10:30 p.m. Friday.
Officials say the victim, a 26-year-old woman, suffered severe leg injuries and was also taken by medical helicopter to a Boston-area hospital.
The driver in that incident, however, fled the scene. Police are investigating both incidents.
