BOSTON -- A motorcyclist was seriously injured after being hit by a tractor-trailer truck on Route 1 South in Sharon Thursday.
The accident occurred near the Route 27 intersection about 11:45 a.m. and the truck operator did not stop.

i cant believe that the truck driver hit and ran, thats terrible. If the truck driver gets caught he should go to jail and lose his license.

Thursday, July 12PITTSFIELD — A city man was killed early yesterday morning in a one-vehicle crash on Highland Avenue.
Jared Benham, 21, of Constitution Road, was traveling northbound on Highland Avenue in a 1999 Ford Explorer at around 1:41 a.m. when he lost control over the vehicle in the 200 block and collided with a tree, according to police.
The young man was pronounced dead at the scene by Medical Examiner Benjamin Glick.
The Pittsfield Police and Fire departments and an ambulance from American Medical Response responded to the scene.
Though speed is believed to be a factor in the crash, the collision is still under investigation by members of the Pittsfield Police Accident Investigation Unit.
Police issued an appeal for accident witnesses to come forward.
Those who can help should contact the police at (413) 448-9723.

if he wasn't speeding he probably wouldn't have lost control of his vehicle. Speeding is a big factor in alot of vehicle crashes. Driving rules should be stricter and cops should be out alot more


No one hurt in crash
