Man suffers head injury and multisystem trauma after SUV passenger side sheared off… [HN VIDEO]
UPDATE – MPD MEDIA STATEMENT 10/10/21: On 10-09-21 at approximately 10:23 P.M., the Mashpee Police Department received a report of a single vehicle motor vehicle accident on Great Oak Road in the area of Quinn’s Way. Upon arrival responding officers observed a black Range Rover with extremely heavy damage to the passenger side of the vehicle as a result of striking a tree. It appears the Range Rover was travelling eastbound on Great Oak Road and failed to negotiate a curve causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle striking the tree.
The male passenger was transported to Falmouth Hospital and later transported via- med-flight to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston with what did appear to be life threatening injuries. The driver was transported to South Shore Hospital in Weymouth with what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries.

This is an active and ongoing investigation.
