Two-Vehicle Crash on Mass Ave Injures Four
Staff Reports,
10:26AM / Tuesday, October 22, 2019

A gray Nissan rolled over on Mass Avenue after being sideswiped. Bystanders were able to flip it over before emergency responders arrived.


NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A Tuesday morning two-car accident sent four to Berkshire Medical Center North's emergency satellite facility with only minor injuries.
 
Police responded to the accident around 9 a.m. near Church Hill on Massachusetts Avenue, near Blackinton Church. 
 
A gray Nissan Rogue eastbound toward the city center was sideswiped by a red Toyota Venza sedan traveling west, according to police.
 
This portion of the heavily traveled street is often narrowed by vehicles parked along the side of the road.
 
An officer conducting preliminary accident reconstruction said the Toyota appears to have left its lane of travel and that the Nissan, after being sideswiped by the Toyota, dug its driver's side tire into the edge of the road, turning the vehicle over.
 
It came to rest on Blackinton Manor's front lawn but people in the area were able to flip the car over before the police, ambulance, and fire trucks arrived.
 
The three passengers in the Nissan were transported to the emergency facility along with the single driver in the Toyota.
 
Police reported that none of the injuries appeared to be serious. The road in this section was briefly closed to traffic until the scene could be cleared. The vehicles were removed by Dean's Towing and Mohawk Auto.
