A state police cruiser and a car collided on Great Western Road in South Dennis.
SOUTH DENNIS - The call came in to Dennis Fire headquarters at 6:02 p.m. Saturday reporting a crash near the entrance to Robert Childs Inc., on Great Western Road in South Dennis near the Harwich town line.
Witnesses at the scene report that an Acura Legend was headed westbound on Great Western Road and was apparently about to turn left into the Childs entrance road when it was struck by a Massachusetts State Police cruiser, also traveling westbound reportedly at a high rate of speed according to witnesses. It could not immediately be confirmed if the cruiser was responding to an emergency at the time of the crash.
The cruiser had attempted to pass the Acura on the left. The impact spun the Acura 180 degrees and sent the cruiser over the curb and into a tree on the right-hand side of the road, about 100 yards from the collision. The driver of the Acura was transported to Cape Cod Hospital by Harwich ambulance. The trooper Steven Culver was treated and released at Cape Cod Hospital. Dennis, Harwich, and State Police were all on the scene. The crash remains under investigation. (Story and photos by Kevin Morley)
