Two-Vehicle Crash on Brown Street Sends One to Hospital, Briefly Closes Road

Staff Reports

NORTH ADAMS — A two-vehicle crash on Brown Street temporarily closed the roadway and sent one person to the hospital on Sunday morning.

According to North Adams 911, at approximately 10:15 a.m., local emergency personnel — including the Fire Department, Police Department, and Northern Berkshire EMS — responded to the incident near West Main Street.

A pickup truck was traveling westbound on West Main Street when a car exiting a driveway on the north side of the road struck the rear passenger side of the truck. The impact caused the pickup to spin 180 degrees.

One person was transported to the emergency department with non-life-threatening injuries. Both vehicles sustained sufficient damage to require towing, and emergency crews closed the road to clear the wreckage.
