Worcester Accident Leads to Injuries

We are always saddened to hear of accidents involving injuries. Although we work with car accident victims on a daily basis here at our firm, we are acutely aware of the struggle faced by car accident victims in their recovery from serious accidents.

We have received news coming out of Worcester this morning about an accident that took place late last night in the 1000 block of Millbury Street. The accident occurred just prior to midnight and police received a call for assistance around 11:30 pm. Officers quickly rushed to the scene to discover a multi vehicle crash. They also discovered that at least one person was injured in the crash. The injured were administered medical treatment on scene.

Officers shut down traffic while the investigation remained ongoing. At this time there is no word on those involved in the crash and police have not released the identities of those involved. We are hoping for a quick recovery for anyone injured in this crash.

Car Accident Sends Worcester Male to Hospital

by Jeffrey S. Glassman

The recent rain created slippery highways today, especially on I-395 in for Don Vincent this evening. The man, in his 40s, is now in the hospital after obtaining injuries in a single-vehicle car accident after ramming into a tree.

The Worcester man, from Whisper Drive, was operating his 2015 Cadillac CTS northbound. The slippery roads caused his vehicle to veer off the road near Exit 41.

The accident caused an intense chain of events, where his vehicle veered off into the area immediately beyond the exit sign. The vehicle then went down a hill, traversing the vegetation and ending up hitting a tree. He was taken to Putnam’s Day Kimball Hospital for injuries sustained in the accident.

DUI Suspect Identified in Framingham Hit-and-Run Accident

by Jeffrey S. Glassman

On Tuesday, a Michael R. Wisnack of Worcester was arraigned in court for two crashes he was involved in this past Sunday. However, it was revealed today that he may be a suspect in a Framingham hit-and-run accident.

The first accident attributed to the 63-year-old man occurred at about 7 p.m. on Saturday on Route 9, according to Natick Police. His vehicle rammed into the highway barrier completely collapsing one side of the BMW. Wisnack appeared to not know how the accident occurred at the time. The odor of alcohol was emanating from his person as he spoke with officers at the scene, and he ultimately did not pass the field sobriety tests administered.

During the testing, Framingham Police officers arrived to the location; the BMW appeared to be the same vehicle identified as part of a hit-and-run accident in Framingham. They believed this because of the damage to the front of the vehicle which could not have occurred that same night after hitting the barrier.

There are no further details about the Framingham hit-and-run.

Flatbed Truck Runs Over Man, Crashes Into Tree

by Jeffrey S. Glassman

Earlier this afternoon, as two flatbed truck workers were loading a Honda Accord onto the tow truck, the truck began to roll and ran over one of the workers. He was taken away in an ambulance. The Pipo’s Towing truck ended up descending approximately 250 feet down hill. This occurred on Haviland Street in Worcester at around 1:30 p.m. There were several witnesses to the incident including the three women getting the Honda Accord towed.

The other Pipo’s Towing worker was also injured when, after attempting to jump into the tow truck to stop it from continuing to roll down hill further, he fell out of the truck onto the pavement. There were no further injuries when the truck came to rest against a tree that stopped it. The accident investigation team of the Worcester Police are investigating mechanical failure as a possible cause, among other factors.
