Operator of vehicle 1 stated he was traveling eastbound on River St and was taking a left turn onto Cherry St and was struck head on with vehicle 2. Operator of vehicle 2 stated she was traveling westbound on River St and as she was entering the intersection of Cherry St the traffic light turned yellow and vehicle 1 which was traveling eastbound made a sudden left turn leaving her no time to stop and the vehicles collided. Vehicle 1 then sped off northbound on Cherry St and returned a minute or two later. I spoke to a witness, Jena Castro-Casbon who stated she saw vehicle 1 traveling northbound on Cherry St at a high rate of speed and drop of a child at 187 Cherry St then turn around and return to the accident scene at a high rate of speed again. 187 Cherry St is 0.4 miles from the intersection of River St. Operator of vehicle 1 stated he had two of his sons friends in the vehicle and he thought it would be best to get one of them home to 187 Cherry St and then come back to exchange information. I followed up with the child and his parents at 187 Cherry St and he was uninjured. I issued the operator of vehicle 1 MA Uniform Citation #T1445381 for 89/8 failure to yield. No one reported any injures and neither vehicle required a tow.
