HINGHAM MA— A single-vehicle crash on George Washington Boulevard resulted in a temporary road closure and power outages late Wednesday afternoon, June 24.
According to local reports, a 23-year-old driver was traveling toward Hull at approximately 5:14 p.m. when their SUV struck a curb. The vehicle then crossed into the Hingham District Court parking lot, where it collided with both a utility pole and a tree.
The impact brought down power lines across the boulevard and the parking lot, leading to a one-hour closure of the road to ensure public safety while crews cleared the debris.
The driver, who was able to exit the vehicle independently, was transported to a local hospital for evaluation. Officials confirmed that the injuries sustained are non-life-threatening.
Authorities have cited the operator for traffic violations related to the incident. Investigators stated that a medical issue may have been a contributing factor, and the Hingham Police Department has requested an immediate license suspension from the Registry of Motor Vehicles as a result.
