Several passengers on vehicles driving southbound on an Attelboro highway posted cell phone footage 
of a camper engulfed in enormous black clouds. The video shows clearly the camper was actively on fire between at least 3 p.m. and 4p.m. on Saturday April 14th. None of the videos show whether individuals were in or outside the camper. One video shows the entire interior was engulfed in flames, again with no visible individuals anywhere near the camper.
Did you know that if you have an attorney representing you, you are much more likely to get your claim paid by the insurance company? The insurance company actually does not want you to have a lawyer, and they 
will make attempts to get you to believe that.
Every time you speak with an insurance adjuster, you are being recorded. They are trying to preserve any holes in your story as excuses to not pay out your claims. This is why you never want to talk to insurance adjusters, and simply direct them to your attorney.
An insurance adjuster will make you think they are doing you a favor by offering an out of court settlement. However, such a settlement is most beneficial for them. So don’t believe their bluff when they act like they will be prepared to go to court on your claim. They really do not want to. It is far more costly for them.

According to the Springfield Police Department, at around 2 a.m. Saturday, a Springfield woman was driving 
down Memorial Drive at the same time that a train was crossing, causing a collision. Although, it was dark at that time, the woman would still have been able to see the train on the tracks. This area of tracks is not blocked off by crossing arms, but does include a visible “Yield” sign. The Springfield Fire Department removed the woman from her Chevy Tahoe, using the “Jaws of Life”. The impact was fatal and she was transported to Bay State Hospital where she was pronounced dead. There were no other occupants or injuries reported. The Hampden County District Attorney’s Office is currently investigating the situation.

The entire six-state New England area is ripe with a fast-paced hustle and bustle, and virtually no other section is fraught with heavy traffic more than Boston. Sadly, navigating the Boston roads can be detrimental with just a tiny amount of distraction. Of course, there are many ways to avoid distracted driving, not only in Boston but anywhere in the United States or the greater New England area, specifically. Nevertheless, we are not talking about simply putting the phone down, (although that is consistently the primary cause of distraction these days) but let’s dive a little deeper into the issue of distracted driving in Boston.
