Crash with Injuries on American Legion Highway

Boston Police have a tough job. Every day, they respond to hundreds of calls across our city for assistance of all types. Some calls are dangerous, other calls involve trauma and injuries to civilians. As part of their job duties, they also respond to numerous calls regarding car accidents which occur here on a daily basis.

One such call came in to police headquarters just after 11:00 pm Tuesday evening. Officer Nadia Siconolfi was on patrol in her assigned area when she received a dispatch regarding an injury accident that had just occurred on American Legion Highway. Officer Siconolfi responded to the accident scene, where she found that one person had been injured in the crash. She called for medical units to come to the accident and administer treatment to the victim.

Officer Siconolfi closed the area down while her investigation into the accident remained ongoing. At this time, we do not know what caused the accident to occur or the identity of the drivers.

by Jeffrey S. Glassman

A wreck on Highway 128 southbound in Lynnfield, Massachusetts caused a host of problems on Tuesday afternoon. Just after 3:00 pm, authorities with the Lynnfield Police Department received word of a collision near exit 42, just past Walnut Street. This area is a divided highway with three travel lanes on both sides of a median.

Two of the vehicles were pushed next to each other in perpendicular fashion while the third vehicle was disabled in the middle lane of the roadway. EMS personnel were on scene of the accident tending to injured victims. At least one of the victims was transported to a hospital with injuries.

The crash caused severe traffic issues for motorists on this stretch of road.

Police did their best to route traffic into the one available lane. However, as expected, there were major delays around the crash at this time. Motorists experienced residual delays as traffic slowly resumed its regular flow after the accident scene was cleared.
