| HN Photos from the Overnight: ?Frog Parking Only? Thursday July 02, 2026 |
|
ABOVE: Barnstable policemen conducted a traffic stop on a Mercedes-Benz sedan on Nightingale Lane near its intersection with Route 28 early this morning in front of a driveway clearly marked ?Frog Parking Only.? Whether the driver identified as a frog remains unclear. The 59-year-old registered owner from North Adams was taken into custody on an active warrant for alleged drug charges in Hingham. A computer check on a second occupant of the vehicle ? a 37-year-old man from Carlisle, Massachusetts ? revealed prior drug and assault-and-battery-with-dangerous-weapons charges. The second occupant (pictured above) was taken into custody on Class B drug charges after policemen allegedly found drugs during a search.
ABOVE: Barnstable policemen conducted a traffic stop on a Connecticut-registered vehicle on Route 132 next to a Wendy's early this morning. The 32-year-old registered owner was allegedly driving on a suspended license. A computer check also revealed a recent gun charge out of Connecticut. The driver was taken into custody on the motor vehicle violation and transported to Barnstable police headquarters for booking.
ABOVE: Firefighters and police responded to 1866 Phinneys Lane in Barnstable last evening after reports of an unresponsive woman slumped over behind the wheel of a Honda Accord stopped in the northbound lane. The woman became responsive after first responders arrived. She was evaluated by Barnstable Fire Department ambulance personnel and refused further treatment. Following a roadside investigation, she was arrested for allegedly operating under the influence.

| Three-Vehicle Crash and Fluid Spill Shut Down Airport Rotary in Hyannis [HN Photos] Wednesday July 01, 2026 |
|
HYANNIS, MASSACHUSETTS ? A three-vehicle crash at the Airport Rotary early Tuesday evening sent one driver to the hospital and forced the shutdown of half the busy rotary after a large fluid spill from a heavily damaged pickup truck.
Barnstable police and Hyannis firefighters responded to the intersection of Route 132 and the rotary shortly after the collision Tuesday evening. A pickup truck and an SUV sustained major damage and were later towed from the scene. One driver was transported to Cape Cod Hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening at the time of this report. The third vehicle involved managed to pull into a nearby parking lot, where Hyannis Rescue evaluated the driver.
The fluid spill from the pickup truck created a significant hazard, prompting responders to close half the rotary while they worked to clean up the mess. Traffic backed up on Route 132 and Route 28 as crews cleared the busy roadway. Hyannis firefighters and a Capeway Towing team removed fluids and debris from the rotary intersection.
A member of the Barnstable County sheriff's crime scene unit photographed the sprawling scene. The Barnstable Police Department is investigating the cause of the crash.
