DORCHESTER, MASS. (WHDH) – A man was rushed to the hospital after a crash between a car and a scooter in Dorchester, according to Boston police.

Police responded to Aspinwall Road at approximately 8:51 p.m. for a report of a motor vehicle accident. Officers said they found one victim hurt on scene. He was taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries. 

People who live in the area said the intersection sees a lot of scooter traffic in the warmer months of the year.

“It’s a little bit dangerous, especially when it gets warm because people are riding mopeds and riding bikes and stuff, and they do tricks,” said one woman who lives in the area. “It’s just a big intersection where cars are coming from every different way and you never know what’s going to happen.”

The crash is under investigation.

HARTFORD, Conn. (WTNH) — Lawmakers put aside politics on Monday for a good cause, going head-to-head on the field.

Democrats took on Republicans in the Fifth Annual CGA Kickball Classic at Dunkin’ Park in Hartford. All ticket sales go towards charity, with this year’s recipient being United Way of Connecticut.

The Democrats won for the second year in a row, the Republicans had a three-year win streak previously.

“It’s great, especially because we’re coming into the real heat of the legislative session, so it’s a lot of fun to be out here,” State Rep. Jason Doucette (D) said. “We have a fun time with our friends across the aisle.”

“United Way is a great organization, a statewide organization, and all of our local United Ways,” Former House Minority Leader Themis Klarides (R) said. “Especially in this day and age, people need so much help just for their everyday activities and keeping their families going, so we’re just really proud to have them be our charity this year.”

Lawmakers on both sides encouraged Connecticut residents to support their local United Way organization however they can.
