Worcester, MA (January 30, 2012) - The Essex County District Attorney has concluded their investigation into the November 28, 2010 motor vehicle accident at Hamilton Street and Puritan Avenue. The Essex County District Attorney supports the findings of the Worcester Police Department Accident Reconstruction Unit and places the fault on the female operator who entered Hamilton Street and caused the collision.

It is unfortunate for the community that the reporting on this accident by the Worcester Telegram and Gazette continually distorted, through unsubstantiated allegations, bias, and innuendo, the facts in this accident. Unlike the Telegram and Gazette, the Essex County District Attorney and the Worcester Police Department conduct thorough, factual and unbiased investigations before making a determination of fact and submitting written reports of findings.

It is another example of how the Worcester Telegram and Gazette continues to distort the facts and circumstances as they pertain to the Worcester Police Department. The reporters assigned to this story clearly demonstrate an institutional bias against accurate and honest reporting. 

There will be no new additional information released at this time.
