1 Hospitalized After Serious Cape Cod Crash

YARMOUTH, MA — One person was sent to the hospital after what police on Cape Cod are calling a serious crash.

Yarmouth Police responded to Old Main Street just after midnight Friday morning. When officers arrived, they found a Ford Mustang with heavy front-end damage and the driver still inside, police said.

Just prior to the crash, the driver had reportedly been spinning the cars tires and “fishtailing” as they accelerated at a high speed down Old Main Street, they added.

The car then struck a utility pole, sheering it from the base of the pole and approximately 12 feet off the ground, police said. The car then came to rest in the front yard of a South Yarmouth residence.

Yarmouth Fire Department paramedics extricated and treated the driver for injuries prior to transporting him to Cape Cod Hospital with unknown injuries.

The 20-year-old operator was cited with reckless operation of a car, speeding at a rate of speed greater than reasonable and marked lanes violation.
