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.

Mount Greylock School Race Will Not Be Called Until Nov. 16

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Before Election Day, we knew that it would take a while to get results from the Mount Greylock Regional School Committee races.

We just did not know how long.

On Monday morning, Lanesborough officials said that it will be at least until Monday, Nov. 16, before we know the official outcome of the Nov. 3 balloting.

That is because the Lanesborough Town Clerk Ruth Knysh, who runs elections and certifies the vote, is out of the office until that date, according to a bounceback message on her town email account.

On Monday, Lanesborough officials confirmed that the town's votes will not be certified until Knysh is back in the office.

Both Lanesborough and Williamstown voters cast ballots for all seven members of the School Committee.

This fall, four of the committee seats were on the ballot – two for Lanesborough residents and two for Williamstown residents. There were six qualified candidates for the four seats, three from each town, and three incumbents on the ballot (two incumbents in Williamstown and one in Lanesborough, where one of the town's three sitting members chose not to seek another four-year term).
