As a result of the Crash Reconstruction Unit’s investigation, we have additional information and clarifications on the fatal Main St crash that occurred on July 23rd. Two Worcester Police officers were in the area of Main and May St assisting on an assault call at about 9:30 PM. As they were preparing to leave the scene approximately twenty minutes later, they pulled out into traffic on Main St with their overhead lights activated for traffic safety purposes.
They observed the white SUV drive north on Main St at a high rate of speed. The officers decided not to pursue the vehicle, but called out with its description over the radio to be BOLOed. It was later discovered that the vehicle was stolen from Allston Ave on the night of July 22nd, but officers were not aware of this at the time.
Shortly afterward, an officer on a detail called out with the crash. The four victims are still being treated at the hospital and the investigation is still open.
