Vehicles Collide at Gay Street an Washington Street

Shortly before things kicked off for a brief second night of Town Meeting in Westwood, traffic was held up on Washington Street due to a two-car accident. 

The accident occurred around 5:30 p.m. at the intersection of Washington and Gay Streets and involved a 1997 Lexus and a 2006 Toyota. 

The Lexus had attempted to turn left from Gay Street onto Washington Street, when the Toyota, which was traveling south on Washington Street, ran a red light and hit the Lexus. 

Both cars were towed from the scene and the operator of the Lexus was transported to Norwood Hospital complaining of pain.

Three lanes of Washington Street were blocked by the accident vehicles and emergency vehicles. Westwood firefighters spread speedy-dry to clean up fluids leaking from the wrecked cars.
