Report of dog jumping from car window on Route 24 in Massachusetts a cautionary tale
A cautionary tale for those bringing dogs on highway trips.
According to multiple reports, a dog was run over and killed on Route 24 in Stoughton at approximately 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.
Fall River Reporter contacted Massachusetts State Police and it was stated that they had nothing in their logs on the incident in question, however, two people expressed that they saw the dog either fall or jump out of a car window before being run over.
This isn’t the first incident this past year where someone stated that they saw a dog jump out of a car window.
Last July, a dog had to be euthanized after leaping from a car window on Route 8 in Naugatuck, Connecticut.
With the warmer weather coming, more drivers will be tempted to roll down the window and let their beloved pet enjoy the breeze.
Pets are often considered a member of the family and we would hate to see this happen to another dog owner.
Fire broke out at an apartment building in North Attleborough, Massachusetts, on Monday afternoon, sending a column of smoke high into the air.
NBC affiliate WJAR-TV reports the smoke was visible from miles away from the building on Juniper Road.
More details were not immediately available.

Life Care Center of Raynham has received a deficiency‑free inspection result from the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, a distinction awarded to a small share of the state’s licensed nursing homes, according to a community announcement.
The inspection was conducted as part of the state’s routine, unannounced nursing home survey process overseen by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health. These comprehensive, multi‑day inspections evaluate multiple aspects of facility operations, including staffing levels, quality of care, medication management, cleanliness, food service and resident rights.
State survey records show that Life Care Center of Raynham met required standards during its most recent standard survey, with no deficiencies cited, based on publicly available state data.
The announcement states that fewer than 8% of Massachusetts nursing homes achieve deficiency‑free survey results. That figure could not be independently verified through state or federal data and is attributed to the announcement.
In addition to the state survey outcome, the facility is listed as a five‑star provider for quality measures on the federal Medicare Care Compare website. The five‑star quality measure rating reflects above‑average performance compared with other nursing homes nationwide, according to federal rating methodology.
Officials said the inspection results reflect ongoing compliance with state and federal standards designed to protect resident health and safety. According to the announcement, the outcome is attributed to staff performance and internal quality practices.
