BRIDGEWATER — Police Chief Christopher D. Delmonte and Fire Chief John Schaltz report that the Bridgewater Police and Fire Departments responded to a single-vehicle crash on Monday.
On Monday, March 30, at approximately 9:35 a.m., Bridgewater Police and Fire responded to Plymouth Street for reports of a flatbed truck that crashed into multiple utility poles and a fire hydrant.
Upon arrival, crews located a flatbed truck that was carrying two vehicles that appeared to have crashed into a fire hydrant and two telephone poles. Due to the crash, there was a fuel leak from the flatbed, and multiple wires were down across the road.
There were no reported injuries.
A preliminary investigation determined that the driver had veered off the road, striking a mailbox and two telephone poles, then striking a fire hydrant. The hydrant snapped off and crews will be working to make repairs.
Bridgewater Fire and Bridgewater Highway Department worked to mitigate the fuel leak and clear the wires and debris from the road.
The driver was issued a citation.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation by Bridgewater Police.
