Three Way Pile-up With Vehicle Being Towed
posted (September 20, 2017)
There was another accident on the Hattieville Boom Road, near Fresh Pond, some time around midday today.

We found the Chevy 1500 Pickup truck with the driver's side door smashed in. That's after the authorities flipped it over, because as these pictures show, the truck actually came to a stop while completely flipped over and its wheels in the air. There was also this blue Jeep Patriot with its front end extensively damaged.

Police say that a Gold GMC Canyon, which was being driven by Anna McCauley, was towing the grey Chevy pickup. Francis McCauley was in the driver's seat of the Chevy pickup, and he was steering it. The towing strap gave way, and sent the Chevy pickup in the opposite lane. The Jeep Patriot, which was being driven by Raymond Garbutt, was driving by at the same time, and he couldn't avoid the pickup. They crashed into each other, the impact sent the Chevy pickup barreling off to the side of the road.

Police say that Garbutt complained of pain to the Chest, and Francis McCauley suffered injuries to the head. All 3 drivers were transported to the KHMH by BERT Ambulance.
