A vehicle crashed in Mill Pond Saturday morning after striking the railing of a bridge near exit three on Route 25 eastbound and going over the side, according to officials on the scene.
Boston 25 News reported that the only occupant of the vehicle died in the crash. Representatives from the Massachusetts State Police said they could not confirm the condition of the individual until Monday, Oct. 28. Emergency responders recovered the vehicle from the water and cleared the scene around 1:20 p.m. according the Wareham Fire Department.
Emergency services received a call for the accident around 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 26 and soon after, the Wareham Police and Fire Departments as well as Massachusetts State Police and the Wareham Department of Natural Resources, responded to the scene.
Around 10:30 a.m. a special taskforce of divers organized by Wareham police entered the water. State Police divers arrived at the scene soon after. Divers exited the water around 11:15 a.m.
Officials placed booms in the water to collect oil leaking from the vehicle and closed two lanes of Route 25 east shortly after exit three to accommodate emergency vehicles.
