 | | Cariddi Auto prepares to two a car involved in an accident on State Road in North Adams. |
NORTH ADAMS — Two people were taken to North Adams Regional Hospital on Friday afternoon after their red Buick collided with a van at about 3:15 p.m. on State Road.
The van's driver, Bruno "Sam" Kissel of Savoy, said he saw the 2007 SE Lucerne beginning to pull out from Mount Williams Greenhouses and beeped his horn as he approached it. Kissel was headed east on State Road.
The driver continued into the roadway, said Kissel, and he jerked his 1999 GMC Safari into the westbound lane trying to avoid the Buick. The car hit the passenger side of the van and spun it around, he said.
"It tore off the passenger door," said Kissel.
Kissel and his two dogs, Lulu and Hoagie were uninjured but Lulu was still shaken up he said. "She hasn't wanted to leave my side."
The blue van was taken away by Dean's Towing.
The driver of the Buick and a passenger, described as an elderly couple, did not appear to be injured but were taken to the hospital as a precaution, said police.
The owner of the car was listed in the police log as Jenny Dewkett of Lee. It was not clear who was driving.
The Buick suffered front-end damage on the driver's side. The car landed on a lawn across from the greenhouses and was towed by Cariddi Auto.
Westbound traffic was rerouted over Ashton Avenue and eastbound traffic slowed as investigators cleared the scene. Traffic was flowing normally shortly before 4 p.m.
No further information was immediately available.
Information updated Friday night. |
