Driver Injures Three Victims, Including An Infant, On Bruce Freeman Rail Trail In Concord

An unidentified driver drove his Volvo SUV onto the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail in Concord and injured three victims, including an infant, on Monday afternoon.

Concord police told reporters from WCVB that the violence occurred around approximately 1:40 p.m. at the intersection where the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail crosses Williams Road, next to Old Marlboro Road (see map at right).

The three victims were reportedly a grandmother, a mother, and an infant taking a midday walk together. First responders took all three to nearby hospitals for treatment.

WCCB and NBC10 reported that their injuries were not expected to be life-threatening, and that the alleged perpetrator, a 41-year-old man, remained on the scene for police questioning.

Nearby signs mark the speed limit on Old Marlboro Road as 35 mph, and the speed limit on Williams Road as 20 mph.

WCVB helicopter footage of the crash scene shows a black SUV on the trail about 50 feet away from the intersection of Williams and Old Marlboro Road.

A “NO MOTOR VEHICLES” sign lies on the ground just behind the SUV’s rear right wheel.
