Police Officer Among Two People Hospitalized Following Brockton Crash

A police officer was one of two people sent to the hospital following a crash in Brockton Monday night.

Police spokesman Darren Duarte says the motor vehicle accident took place around 9 p.m. at the intersection of Montello St. and Lawrence St.

The incident began when 29-year-old Widly Bazile of Brockton allegedly ran the stoplight and crashed into a police cruiser that was driving through the intersection from Lawrence St.

Bazile then crashed into a nearby stone barrier.

Duarte says the force of the impact caused the Brockton Police Officer to hit a traffic light pole before she crashed into a fence belonging to the Eastern Ice Company on Lawrence St.

Both victims were taken to local hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries.

Bazile is being charged with running a stoplight and operating a vehicle with a revoked license.
