Driver slammed car through Shrewsbury police station intentionally, driver in custody, chief says

SHREWSBURY, Mass. — Police believe the driver who slammed their car through the front of the Shrewsbury police station on Monday afternoon did so intentionally and has been taken into custody.

Police say the driver of the black 2022 BMW SUV that buried itself entirely in the police station lobby was transported to a nearby hospital for their injuries but is expected to be arraigned on Tuesday.

No staff, police officers, or other citizens were injured in the crash.

Shrewsbury Police Chief Kevin Anderson said that the driver is “known to the department” but havent had any reported incidents for several years.

“It’s very concerning, the entire staff that was there is very shooken up, we’re very fortunate that we have a training room that there was training going on and that ended about 30 minutes prior to this incident,” said Chief Anderson.

Video from the scene showed the vehicle entirely within the police station.

“The vehicle actually went through the front door and actually went into dispatch, so it went through the lobby and went into dispatch, and there were three dispatchers working at the time, and obviously they were very shooken up,” said Chief Anderson.

Police had the front of the station roped off as they investigated.

“At this time, the front lobby of Police Headquarters is closed. Individuals wishing to file a police report are encouraged to contact our business line at 508-845-1212. In the event of an emergency, please dial 911,” Shrewsbury police said.
