2 Children Seriously Hurt, Driver Charged With OUI After Pembroke Crash
PEMBROKE (CBS) – Two children are hospitalized with life-threatening injuries after a crash in Pembroke Sunday morning. A pickup truck and a Subaru collided at 7 a.m. on Route 139 near Oak Street. The driver of the truck, 31-year-old Gregory Patrick Goodsell, of Marshfield, was arrested and charged with OUI.
Firefighters rushed to get a family of three to the hospital including two children with serious injuries.
Julie Jenkins lives down the street and said she heard a vehicle speeding by minutes before the crash.
"Early this morning I heard a car fly past my house, so I looked out the window and about five minutes later the sirens started," Jenkins said. "It was just someone full-on their gas. And you could hear it because it was very, very quiet and it was just you could hear that it was someone speeding."
Goodsell's mangled company pick-up truck came to a halt near Church and Oak Street and that's where he was arrested.
"It's pretty bad up here. There are a lot of lights to go through. If you don't pay attention at one of the lights you're going to hit someone," Jenkins said.
The three victims were transported to South Shore Hospital where they are being treated for their injuries.
Goodsell was charged with operating under the influence of liquor causing serious injury, possession of an open alcohol container in a motor vehicle, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, marked lanes violation, speeding, failure to stop or yield at a signal, and improper passing.
