Randolph Police to Charge Teen Driver Who Fled Traffic Stop Before Crashing

RANDOLPH — Chief Anthony Marag reports that the Randolph Police Department intends to issue a summons to a driver after she fled an attempted traffic stop and crashed into multiple vehicles and a wall.

A 19-YEAR-OLD FEMALE, OF EAST BRIDGEWATER, will be issued a summons on charges of:

  • Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle
  • Failure to Stop
  • Fleeing the Scene of a Property Damage Crash
  • Marked Lanes Violation
  • Minor in Possession of Alcohol

At approximately 7:45 p.m., a Randolph Police officer attempted to stop a vehicle after observing it improperly pass another motorist and run a red light. The driver of the vehicle fled the attempted stop, and Randolph Police terminated the pursuit due to safety concerns shortly thereafter.

A short time later, officers located the vehicle after it had crashed into three other vehicles and a cement wall in the area of 980 N. Main St. The FEMALE suffered injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening and was transported to an area hospital for evaluation.

During their investigation, Randolph Police determined that the FEMALE also allegedly sideswiped another vehicle in traffic in Holbrook and failed to stop.

Alcohol was located inside the vehicle following the crash, and the driver and two female passengers will be charged with Minor in Possession of Alcohol.

 

These are allegations. All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.
