Crash with Boston Globe Delivery Truck and Car Sends Two to Hospital in Medford

Two people were taken to the hospital early Saturday morning after a car collided with a newspaper delivery truck in Wellington Circle.

About 3:55 a.m. Saturday, a 2003 Toyota Matrix collided with the side of a 2007 Freightliner delivery truck bearing a Boston Globe logo, State Police Trooper Reid Bagley said Saturday morning.

The driver of Matrix, a 24-year-old man from Mattapan, was extricated from his car and rushed to Massachusetts General Hospital, Bagley said. The driver of the delivery truck, a 51-year-old man from Franklin, was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries, police said.

Photos from the scene show a four-door Toyota Matrix with its front-end nearly destroyed. Photos of the delivery truck - for the Boston Globe - show damage to its side between the front and real wheels.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation. No citations were handed down immediately after the accident, but police have 7 days to determine whether to do so, Bagley said.
