A driver was arrested after they “intentionally” crashed into the Shrewsbury police station Monday, ending up completely inside the building, according to Shrewsbury police. Shrewsbury police said the black SUV drove forcefully drove through and became wedged inside the building shortly after 2 p.m. The smashed car has since been towed away. “So we actually put two pylons out there to prevent people from hitting the building, it went through that, it went through the door — actually two doors — went through the front lobby, and then went through the wall of the dispatch center,” said Shrewsbury Police Chief Kevin Anderson. “There were three dispatchers working at the time and, obviously, they’re very shooken up.” The driver was the only person inside the car at the time and was taken to the hospital. No one else was hurt. Neighbors said they’ve never seen anything like this. “It’s hard to imagine to get that far into the station,” said Bill Jewers, who lives across the street. “The barricades — it’s pretty well fortified, so it’s scary.” Police said they have prior experience with the driver, but not since 2019. Anderson said they have not yet identified a motive, but there is no danger to the community at this time. Police said they are lucky the outcome of this incident was not any worse. “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 Anderson. The front lobby of the police station is closed, but police said the department remains fully operational. Anyone who needs to file a police report can do so by calling 508-845-1212. The crash is under investigation by Shrewsbury police and the District Attorney’s Office. The suspect has not been publicly identified, but they are expected to be arraigned in Westborough District Court Tuesday.

A driver was arrested and two people were taken to the hospital after a stolen car crashed into a building near Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge Monday afternoon, according to Cambridge police. One person inside the building suffered serious injuries. Police said they tried to conduct a motor vehicle stop near the intersection of Massachusetts Avenue and Albany Street when they saw a vehicle that had been reported stolen to Boston police a short time beforehand. The vehicle involved then took off down Albany Street at a high rate of speed, but officers said they did not pursue it because of safety concerns. Minutes later, several 911 calls reported that a car had smashed into a building nearby, at the intersection of Albany Street, Waverly Street, and Erie Street. The driver was subsequently arrested. Fire officials said that despite the crash, damage could have been much worse. “Just like a curtain wall,” Cambridge fire chief Kenny Albert said. “No structural damage. And water was shut off to the building temporarily so that we can isolate a water leak.” Cambridge police are investigating the crash.
