MA Storm: Cape Cod Firefighter Critically Hurt In Hit-And-Run

WAREHAM, MA — A Cape Cod firefighter was seriously injured in a hit-and-run crash during Friday's nor'easter and police are asked public's help finding the driver. The firefighter was identified as a 25-year-old with the Onset Fire Department in Wareham. He was on duty at the time and listed in critical condition Saturday at Rhode Island Hospital, police said.

Police asked the public's help finding the driver. Witness reports indicated the driver may have been in a gray Subaru hatchback with "extensive" damage to the front fender, side mirror and body.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Wareham police at 508-295-1206.

Friday's storm knocked out power to more than 450,000 across Massachusetts. The storm was blamed for the death of a Plympton man after a tree fell on him. More than 150,000 were still without power Sunday afternoon statewide, mostly in Southeastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod. More than a dozen emergency shelters remained open.
