Unmarked state police cruiser, car collide in West Barnstable

WEST BARNSTABLE – An unmarked state police Ford Explorer cruiser and a Saturn sedan collided in West Barnstable around 6:45 PM. The crash happened on Route 149 at Osterville/West Barnstable Road. The impact left the Saturn in a ditch with a wheel torn off. A CWN reporter observed an ambulance with two state cruisers headed toward Cape Cod Hospital. It was not clear if the trooper may have been assisting Barnstable Police with traffic because of an earlier crash that closed Osterville/West Barnstable Road. The cause of the crash is under investigation.
