NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — Emergency crews responded to a multi-agency call in downtown North Adams late Tuesday night after a pickup truck veered off the road and crashed into the Marshall Street storefront housing Brewster's and Tres Niños.

According to North Adams 911, at approximately 10:00 p.m., units from the North Adams Fire Department, North Adams Police Department, and Northern Berkshire EMS were dispatched to Marshall Street following reports of a vehicle colliding with a building.

Initial reports indicate the vehicle was traveling southbound on Marshall Street when the driver lost control. The truck left the roadway and slammed into the storefronts of both Brewster's and Tres Niños Taqueria.

Brewster's took the brunt of the damage. The truck drove completely through the front window and side entryway before coming to a stop at the Tres Niños entryway. A streetlight was also toppled in the crash.

First responders evaluated two occupants who were inside the vehicle at the time of the impact. One person sustained injuries and was transported to the emergency department for treatment. The second occupant reported no injuries.

North Adams School Committee Filling Two Seats

By Tammy DanielsiBerkshires Staff
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The School Committee is in need of new members to fill two unexpired terms until Jan. 1, 2028.
 
The candidates will be voted on by a joint convention of the School Committee and City Council on Oct. 5. 
 
In the two months since the last School Committee meeting, members Emily Daunis and Cody Chamberlain have resigned. 
 
The committee was expected to review the process at its Tuesday meeting but did not. A timeline provided by Mayor Jennifer Macksey, chair of the committee, states the calls for statements of interest will occur on Monday, Aug. 31, along with a pre-convention meeting notice. 
 
Statements of interest and nominations will be accepted via email to btassone@napsk12.org until 2 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 24; these will be disseminated to committee and City Council members four days later. 
 
Any resident of the city of North Adams who is eligible to vote is eligible to be elected to serve on the School Committee.
 
Daunis was elected in this way to the School Committee in 2020 to fill the unexpired term and elected to a four-year term in her own right the following year and again in 2025.
