BOSTON — A street in a Boston neighborhood was shut down on New Year’s Day morning due to an investigation into a crash that caused life-threatening injuries.
River Street in Hyde Park was closed between Gordon Street and Reservation Road for hours, according to the Boston Police Department.
The one-car crash resulted in life-threatening injuries but it wasn’t immediately clear how many people were involved.
A photo from the scene showed the street roped off with yellow tape and a wrecked black sedan resting on the sidewalk.
The crash left the street littered with debris and detectives placed several evidence markers in the road.
The street has since reopened to traffic but Boston police offered no additional details on the crash.
Boston 25 News is working to gather more information.
