*** NEW VIDEO *** CRASH SENDS WOMAN TO HOSPITAL AFTER CAR BLOWS RED LIGHT – “A CAUTIONARY TALE”
HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS – New dashcam video sent in by a Hyannis News reader apparently shows a vehicle running a red light before slamming into another vehicle at full speed. The driver of the vehicle that was struck was transported to Cape Cod Hospital.
On Friday evening – 2/9/2024 – shortly before 9:00 p.m., Barnstable police patrol officers discovered a two-vehicle collision after hearing a loud crash in the downtown area. First responders, including two ambulances, responded to the intersection of Main Street and High School Road for an accident with injuries.
Main Street was completely closed down as officials worked the scene.
The adult female occupant of a vehicle with moderate to heavy damage was transported to Cape Cod Hospital with injuries not believed to be life-threatening.
The occupants of a second vehicle were evaluated on scene but were not expected to be transported at the time of the initial report.
Traffic was moderate in the area as nearby schools were hosting student functions.
The Barnstable Police Department is investigating the cause of the crash. And a member of the sheriff’s crime scene investigation unit assisted by taking photos of the scene.
The following HN Video contains dashcam video of the crash sent in by Katelyn Coughlin, the video also contains HN photos of the scene. The video reminds us that accidents can happen without warning and it’s important to always be vigilant behind the wheel by “driving defensively.”
