(Whatley, MA) A roll over crash in Whatley this morning caused minor injuries according to the Whatley Police Department. During the cleanup and investigation, Whatley Police observed motorists traveling at a higher rate of speed than appropriate for the conditions, causing a hazard for the workers as they passed.

“There were also numerous cars that had trouble seeing us because they failed to remove all the snow from their vehicles. Please! Please! Please! take the extra time and be careful,” said the department on social media.

A passenger and the driver were transported to the hospital by South County EMS. The driver of the jeep apparently hit a tree which caused the vehicle to roll over.
