Plymouth Head-On Crash Leaves Driver Seriously Injured
PLYMOUTH, MA—A head-on collision on Plympton Road at approximately 11:50 a.m. on Thursday, September 17, 2026, resulted in serious injuries to one driver, officials reported.
The crash involved two vehicles: a sedan and an SUV. According to Plymouth police and fire officials, the sedan ended up in the median, while the SUV sustained front-end damage.
The driver of the sedan, a male whose identity has not been disclosed, was trapped inside the vehicle and required extraction. After being rescued, he was transported by ambulance to Plymouth Municipal Airport and subsequently airlifted to a Boston trauma center.
The driver of the SUV, a 17-year-old girl, suffered minor injuries and was treated at a local hospital. Authorities said she had fled a wellbeing check in nearby Kingston, prompting a brief pursuit by police which was later terminated for safety reasons.
Witnesses reported that the girl attempted to flee the scene on foot but was apprehended shortly thereafter by Plymouth police. Criminal charges are pending from both Kingston and Plymouth police departments; the teenager's identity is withheld in accordance with juvenile privacy laws.
Plympton Road was closed during the emergency response but has since reopened.
