Two individuals were hospitalized after a severe head-on collision took place on Saturday night in Bourne. The crash occurred near the intersection of Sandwich Road and Longboat Road when a Nissan Rogue, driven by a 25-year-old from Burlington crossed into oncoming traffic and struck a GMC Sierra, as reported by Boston 25 News.
According to the Bourne Police Department, the collision was reported around 10:30 p.m, with emergency personnel arriving at the scene shortly after. The driver of the Nissan, which Boston 25 News identifies as a male, sustained minor injuries, while the Sierra's driver suffered serious injuries. Both were transported to medical facilities outside of the Cape area for treatment.
The aftermath of the crash caused significant disruptions, leading to the closure of Sandwich Road to facilitate an on-site investigation. The thoroughfare was reopened at approximately 3 a.m. on Sunday. As investigators continued their work, the cause of the crash remained uncertain, with WHDH News reporting that a reconstruction team from the Cape Cod Regional Law Enforcement Council was assisting with the investigation.
Meanwhile, the Bourne community grapples with the impact of this incident, awaiting updates as police delve deeper to unravel the circumstances that led to this near-fatal encounter. The local authorities haven’t released further details about the individuals involved in the crash, or what might have caused the Nissan Rogue to veer into the opposing lane. This remains a developing story, with both news outlets promising additional information as it comes to light.
