WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — No injuries were reported Wednesday after a car drove into a house at 1033 Simonds Road (Route 7).
 
Williamstown Police and Fire and Northern Berkshire EMS were at the scene at about 2 p.m. on Wednesday cleaning up and waiting for a wrecker to remove the vehicle.
 
The lone occupant of the car, the driver, had been evaluated and refused transport to the hospital, officials said.
 
Wednesday's rain may have contributed to the accident.
 
Tire tracks were visible on the property to the south leading up to the car, a light gray sedan that hit the structure directly below a "No Trespassing" sign.
 
Williamstown Police are investigating the accident and the building inspector was called to the scene to inspect the property.

Letter: Old Town Garage Site Should Host Farmers Market

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:

The best use for the old Town Garage site is for relocating the Farmer's Market and possibly permitting food trucks as well as an extension of Linear Park. This use would greatly benefit the Water Street shopping district, both for merchants and the town as a whole. The Select Board should rescind its vote and make this happen.

Think about it.

This would also hold the lot in reserve for potential future uses.
