GROVELAND — Fire Chief Robert Valentine reports that the Groveland Fire Department responded Monday morning to a crash into an assisted living center.
On Monday, July 24, at approximately 10:38 a.m., Groveland dispatchers received 911 calls reporting that a car had struck a building at 1 Nichols Way.
Upon arrival, first responders found that a Lexus RX350 driven by an 83-year-old man had struck the building, injuring both the driver and two occupants of a multi-family unit. Co-responding Groveland Police officers assisted in extricating the driver from the Lexus.
The driver and one occupant, an 84-year-old woman, received medical care at the scene, and were transported by Trinity EMS ambulance to a local hospital for treatment of their injuries. The second occupant was treated on scene for their injuries.
The West Newbury, Georgetown, and Merrimac Fire Departments are providing mutual aid. The Fire District 5 Technical Rescue Team will be working with the Groveland Building Inspector to stabilize the building and allow removal of the vehicle.
National Grid also is on the scene to ensure the gas system has not been compromised.
Chief Valentine thanks the Groveland Police Department, whose members played an integral role in the response. Chief Valentine wishes to thank the West Newbury, Georgetown, and Merrimac Fire Departments for providing support, and the Fire District 5 Technical Rescue Team for its assistance.
