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.

Williamstown Voters Have Choices for Library Trustees Spots

By Stephen DravisiBerkshires Staff
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Just one office has a contested race in the town election on Tuesday.
 
But it is a crowded field.
 
Four candidates are on the ballot for two three-year seats on the Milne Public Library Board of Trustees.
 
The race — along with several uncontested races — will be decided when residents go to the polls from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 12, at Williamstown Elementary School.
 
As is tradition in town, the town election will be followed one week later by the annual town meeting, also scheduled for the WES gymnasium, at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, May 19.
 
Willinet, the town's community access television station, offered the four library trustee candidates a chance to present themselves to the community in videotaped presentations available on the station and at its website, willinet.org.
 
The office sought by Janet Curran, Martin Mitsoff, Kathleen Schultze and Michael Sussman is one of seven seats on the Milne's Board of Trustees. That board is responsible for appointing the library director and deciding written policies for the library at 1095 Main St., on the Field Park rotary.
