| HN PHOTOS: ?ALL-TOO-COMMON LANE ISSUES?? Monday December 04, 2023 |
| Top HN photo: A driver stoops over to pick up his Jeep's front tire at a Route 6A crash scene, Sunday afternoon?
BARNSTABLE ? [HN NOTES & MULLINGS ON THE MATTER] ? As can be seen in the above HN photos, the Barnstable Police are investigating what caused at least one vehicle to cross over the center line and collide with an oncoming car yesterday afternoon. Fortunately, nobody was seriously injured (one driver was evaluated inside an ambulance but refused transport) and the damage appeared to reflect both vehicles being ?clipped? on the driver's side, near the front tire area. The crash happened early afternoon, on Route 6A near the intersection with Keveney Lane. The roads were wet from a steady, ongoing light rain. Heavy Sunday traffic became backed up in both directions as officers needed to stop cars, reducing the flow to one lane, intermittently in each direction. It was an all-too-common midday mess.
I'll reiterate, this type of crash, that fortunately ended up being relatively ?minor? due to a matter of inches, happens all day long on the Cape.
The accident is under investigation and without speculating too much about this specific crash, I will say that a lot of these crashes are not simple ?accidents.? In general ? but maybe not this one ? many of these crashes are intentional negligence due to excessive speed or distracted driving? ?lane issues? that wouldn't happen if everyone was focused on the task at hand, which is safe driving, of course?
? staying within marked lanes?
? traveling at posted speeds.
While driving to yesterday's crash, HN was almost clipped by a young family in an SUV that appeared to be having a good time laughing, yukking it up, and whatnot, without realizing they had just drifted into my lane. It's good my head was in the game at least, or else there would have been a second crash to deal with?
? another ?matter of inches.?
People's inability to drive respectfully and safely is actually much worse in the daytime in my opinion. And the offenders are not your ?normal? reckless offenders, they are moms, dads, teens, routine commuters, all playing Russian Roulette with oncoming traffic by #&%*@^%! around on their cellphones? because, you know, ?gotta answer that last text!?
One of these days, I'm going to set up a high-powered lens to record clueless drivers arriving at random traffic lights. When the ?games? begin. When fine, upstanding mom and dad, both decked-out in Mr. & Mrs. ?good citizen? business attire, decide to get a little texting in, because they are ?responsible? of course, and not like the other idiots.
Damn reckless, self-centered fools!
But again, I'm not saying texting, speed, or some other form of distracted driving was the actual cause of yesterday's crash, the one pictured above. In yesterday's crash, it's quite likely both drivers were ?victims of circumstance.? Pure, accidental circumstance?
The Barnstable Police Department is investigating the actual cause of yesterday's crash?

HYANNIS, Massachusetts ? As you can see in the following HN Video, this past Thursday, November 23, 2023 ? Thanksgiving Day ? Barnstable Police were called to an address on Hamden Circle for a woman who had reportedly just been shot. CLICK HERE to read HN's initial report entitled ?WOMAN SHOT AT HYANNIS RESIDENCE ON THANKSGIVING DAY.?
HN has learned of an arrest in the case?
According to Barnstable Police documents filed during an arraignment in district court on Tuesday, November 28, 2023, Detective Kevin Connolly reports that on Thanksgiving at around 5:37 p.m., the Barnstable Police Department received a 911 call from 127 Hamden Circle. The call was reportedly placed by Mark Griswold who stated that someone had just shot at him and his wife? and that his wife had been hit.
Detective Connolly's report continues to state that Hyannis Rescue arrived and transported the wife to Cape Cod Hospital for an ?apparent gunshot wound to the left hand and right chest.?
But according to Detective Connolly's report, there appears to be inconsistencies in statements made by Mark Griswold and his wife, the gunshot victim. Investigators also obtained nearby security camera footage that also reportedly seems to be telling a different story.
Mark Griswold reportedly told investigators that he was getting out of his car and was in the process of getting into his wife's car to leave for dinner when he heard a ?pow.?
The following images are copies of Detective Connolly's report. HN has removed certain potentially sensitive details for the time being:
