It’s time for my weekly update on what Southborough Police have been up to.
Just in time – a reader notified me of a tractor trailer caught under the commuter rail’s bridge over River Street. For longtime residents and commuters of that area, it’s not an unfamiliar sight. There have been multiple crashes with drivers ignoring the 11 foot clearance warning signs.
According to my source, today’s crash has turned into an “all day affair”. The truck needs to be unloaded before it gets pulled out. The incident is being investigated by the Southborough PD, Transit Police, and the Massachusetts State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Team. An engineer from the MBTA was also “on the scene”.
Here are photos from the scene:
Last week, I shared the SPD’s news that they are holding a workshop for the public. Unfortunately, I forgot to list it on Monday when I posted events of the week. So here’s a reminder:
Saturday, June 23, 2018
- Police Workshop on Active Armed Intruder situation (2:00 – 3:30 pm) @ Trottier Middle School: A free workshop for residents on techniques for personal safety involving an Active Armed Intruder. Officer Kevin Landry will cover situational awareness in public and private spaces, responses for dangerous situations, and advice on how to best respond immediately. Free childcare is available for the session. For details, see last week’s post.
I also shared news last week of a manhunt that took place in Southborough. Since then, the incident was covered by a Marlborough TV station with more vivid details. You can watch that below. Then scroll down to see what else police have been up to in the latest round of Police logs.
Here the latest logs from the Southborough Police Department, covering June 12 – 17th.

[Editor’s Note:
- By law, the police logs omit domestic disturbances, including related arrests. (Which means police can be even busier than they appear to be.)
- Radar Assignment is generally used to summarize multiple Vehicle Stops/Citations.
- By blog policy, I strip out the names of any individuals listed as arrested.
- I edited the log format and some of the original abbreviations to make it easier for blog readers to follow. You can find the SPD’s original, unedited logs on Facebook here.]
