WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Police Department is investigating the vandalism of more than 20 road signs along the Taconic Trail section of Route 2.
Motorists called the station beginning at about 7 a.m. on Sunday reporting numerous roadway signs had been damaged or destroyed. The lower section of the Taconic Trail had the most damage, with at least 21 signs run over by a vehicle. Most of the signs were beyond repair. A state Highway Department representative estimated the damage in excess of $2,000.
Police said almost every sign close to the roadway and accessible to a vehicle was targeted; only those behind the guard rails remained intact. One resident reported hearing engine noise at about 1:30 a.m. on Sunday.
Evidence collected at the scene indicates the responsible vehicle is a 1996 to 1998 Ford Explorer, said police.
Police are asking that anyone who heard or saw suspicious activity in the area to call the station at 413-458-5733.
