A pickup truck crashed into a home in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood on Tuesday morning, resulting in a chaotic scene. Massachusetts State Police, along with the Boston Fire Department and Boston EMS, swiftly responded to reports of a four-car collision on Gallivan Boulevard at Oakridge Street shortly after 9 a.m.
According to state police, initial investigations revealed that a Ford F-150 pickup truck driven by a 63-year-old man from Dorchester collided with a Jeep Wrangler operated by a 19-year-old Dedham resident. The impact caused the pickup truck to veer off the road and collide with the foundation of a house located at 85 Gallivan Boulevard. Simultaneously, the Jeep struck two parked vehicles: a BMW X3 and Honda Odyssey van situated on Oakridge Street.
Fortunately, only minor injuries were sustained in this incident. The driver of the pickup truck was transported to an area hospital for treatment while his passenger—a 63-year-old woman from Dorchester—escaped unharmed. Remarkably, no hospitalization was required for the young driver of the Jeep.
City of Boston building inspectors promptly arrived at the scene to assess any structural damage inflicted upon the house due to its unexpected encounter with an automobile. Meanwhile, authorities are diligently investigating what led up to this crash.
