ROXBURY – One person was critically injured in a crash between a car and a scooter in Boston on Saturday afternoon and neighbors said they’re not surprised it happened in what they call a dangerous intersection.
Car towed from scene
It happened at around 3 p.m. at the intersection of Washington and Northampton streets in Roxbury, down the street from Northeastern University. A car with its airbags deployed was towed away from the scene and a scooter and helmet were seen lying in the street, along with broken glass.
