YARMOUTH, MA : 3 people taken to hospital, driver charged with OUI after rollover crash in West Yarmouth on Thursday, 18th July 2024

Emergency crews brought three people to an area hospital and authorities charged one person with operating under the influence Thursday after a rollover crash was caught on camera in West Yarmouth.

Yarmouth police shared video of the crash on Facebook, saying an officer had been on patrol along Route 28 near 2 a.m. when he saw a car speeding toward him on the opposite side of the road.

The car soon crashed into a utility pole and spun onto its roof, snapping the utility pole and showering the area with sparks.

Police said two people got out of the car after the crash and told the officer they were injured. A third person was trapped in the car and needed to be helped to safety by other responding officers.
