    2 Transit Officers aid in rollover crash inside tunnel


    BOSTON (WHDH) -- Two transit officers are being credited with helping a 5-year-old girl and her father who were in a rollover crash inside the Tip O’Neill Tunnel.
    Video from inside the tunnel shows the car fish tailing and colliding with the guard rail.
    "The car was like, going this way and going that way and then it stopped and then it just flipped over," said 5-year-old Jocelyn Clayton, who was in the car.
    Jocelyn was in the back seat and her mother's fiance, Edward Butler, was behind the wheel. Wednesday afternoon, they were on their way to pick up Jocelyn's mother in Somerville, but Butler lost control. The car suddenly shot across several lanes, and smashed into the wall.
    The accident happened within 50 feet from two MBTA police officers.
    “I remember saying to my partner, ‘This is happening -- just get on the air, send everybody,’” Patrick Guilfoy of the MBTA transit police department.

    Nice job. Oh, and don't worry about not enough help in there. With the amount of mega transfers to SP Tunnels, soon there will be a Trooper with a radar on every other skip mark in there.

  3. Hank Moody You get what you give

    1) My bet is WAY TOO FAST for tunnel
    2) Do those officers get any special treatment when their Dept merges with the MSP ?

    They will get an honorary promotion when MSP merges w/ the T.

    I wouldn't be a bit surprised if the father intentionally blew past the Transit cruiser, thinking "They're not the real police, they can't pull me over".

    From the looks of the video, the TPD Officers were in an Unmarked.

    Sometimes it's all about being in the right place at the right time. Good job to the Transit officers.

    The father's tire popped and he lost control...there was never any issue as to whether he was speeding. Read the details before you make stupid comments or remarks about innocent people.

    Please tell me that he was cited for not having her in a proper child restraint. That child does not appear to be greater than 4'9" tall.

    Wow...that's not just regular popcorn. Looks delirious. So does the beer for that matter.

    Why is it assumed that he had to be speeding and the Child not properly restrained? Because the parent is black something had to have been his fault and he should be cited for something, anything! Lets just lock him up for driving in thr tunnel..The Child was in a booter seat with her seat belt as is MA law. Lets focus on the positive that two lives were spared despite this freak accident that was no ones fault.

    LOL !!!! You troll. You seem to get into shenanigans everywhere you go. The internet, the supermarket and most recently on an airplane.

    First let me say you are in the wrong place to spew your bullshit. Second, you're the only one I've seen mention he's black. I didn't even know until YOU said so which means you have over whelming white guilt or your black and racist.

    The reason we question his speed is because most of the people on the site have been to a crash or two and know better. We're not just making it up as we go along. And notice I typed CRASH and not ACCIDENT? Thats because there are no accidents. It's always someones fault.

    It was not a "freak accident". Blowouts happen all the time and rarely if ever cause rollovers. You could drive on three tires and a rim for a long time and not roll the vehicle over. He was going too fast and is lucky no one got killed.

    Lastly, STFU. Thanks for playing.

    You know I had a whole response ready to go and then it hit me, it's just not worth it. If you're dropping the race card on your second post (by the way you don't know what race I am which means if I'm black you're an incorrect ass & if I'm white you're a racist ass); then, there is no way you would ever be able to keep up in a legitimate battle of wits.

    As for "assuming" the child was not properly restrained, it's not a hard conclusion to come to unless the reports of her being tangled in the seat belt are exaggerated and she was merely stuck. She is a very lucky little girl who clearly had an angel with her that day. You can respond until your fingers bleed, but there is no way that you will convince me that she was in a proper child restraint for her size or in any child restraint for that matter.

    Now please don't go away mad, just go away.

    I respect ur opinion, but thats all it is...your opinion. For the record 2 tires blew on the passenger side on a Kia Sportage which didnt rate well on safety and stability tests, but if it boosts ur ego, then fine it was a provoked CRASH Im not black nor white.... Now u shut the f Up!!

    so what ? That doesn't mean she was in it at the time of the accident. I'm thinking about hiring a lawyer to sue you for harassment.
