On March 9th, 2021 at approximately 08:51 hours while working N491 I responded to the area of #265 Watertown St for a report of a MV crash with possible entrapment. On my arrival I located a black Chev Suburban MA reg 6hy959 crashed into a tree in front of #269 Watertown St The operator, later identified as Rachel Franchi, dob 05/10/1981 was still inside the vehicle. She was bleeding from her forehead. I attempted to talk with her but she appeared dazed and confused. I spoke with a witness, identified as Sarah Plesh. She reported traveling W/B on Watertown St when she observed the Black Suburban who had been coming E/B suddenly veer off the road and crash into a tree. Witness stopped her vehicle and exited to check on the condition of the driver. She observed the operator whom she thought to be having a medical emergency. Witness then noticed a small child in the back seat. The car doors were all locked but witness was able to get the child to unlock the doors. Witness then removed the child from the car and held him to police arrived on scene. Operator had to be coaxed out of her vehicle with the assistance of medical personnel. She was later transported to Newton Wellesley by Fallon Ambulance. Tody towed the vehicle. Pictures of the damaged city tree were taken by SGT Fleming and later emailed to the IT bureau. Father of child, Robert Franchi arrived on scene and took custody of the child,Julian, dob12/12/2015. He didn't appear to have suffered any injuries from this crash.
