HARWICH – A traffic crash reportedly caused damage to two structures in Harwich around 10:15 AM Tuesday. According to reports, the Whimsy Boutique at 121 Route 28 suffered significant damage to its porch area while the building across the street at 126 Route 28, the former Irish Pub, suffered minor damage. The driver of the Dodge Ram pickup truck was evaluated by EMTs at the scene. National Grid was requested to secure gas to at least one of the properties. A building inspector was called to check the extent of the damage. Harwich Police are investigating the cause of the crash and are reportedly citing the driver for operating negligently to endanger and marked lanes violation. Route 28 was closed in the area while the scene was worked. The Whimsy building is reportedly structurally sound but the porch will likely have to be completely rebuilt.
