November 9, 2007 — Hopkinton Police, after public speculation from passersby and others throughout the day, released information last evening regarding a motor vehicle crash that involved two police Officers operating separate cruisers at about 6:45 p.m. on Wednesday, November 7.
According to the informational release, Officer Gregg DeBoer operating Car 2, and officer William Burchard operating Car 10 were both traveling west on Wood Street.
Officer DeBoer stopped at the intersection of Wood Street waiting to turn left. Officer Burchard, distracted by the use of his computer, did not see that the other cruiser had stopped until it was too late, and collided with it, according to the release. No one was inured. One vehicle was towed, but the other was driven from the scene. Both will be out of service while being repaired. Sgt. Michael Sutton investigated, and Chief of Police Thomas Irvin has been advised.
The release concludes, "Officer Burchard will receive internal discipline for violating Department policy regarding use of the Mobile Data Computer. In addition, both officers have volunteered to attend on their own time Emergency Vehicle Driver Training conducted by the State Police at the Devens EVOC Training Facility in Ayer."
