A Hingham man entered a not guilty plea in connection with a crash at an Apple store.
The indictments follow an investigation into an incident which occurred on November 21, 2022 when a car drove into a storefront window at the Apple Store located in Derby Shops in Hingham, with multiple people injured.
Upon arrival, first responders found co-workers and other bystanders rendering first aid to multiple victims in need of urgent care.
Many of the victims were treated at South Shore Hospital while 65-year-old Kevin Bradley was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Plymouth County District Attorney Office says that on March 28 a Plymouth County grand jury indicted 53-year-old Bradley Rein of on one count each of Murder in the 2nd Degree and Motor Vehicle Homicide by Reckless Operation in the death of 65-year-old Kevin Bradley of Wayne, New Jersey.
The indictments allege that Rein was behind the wheel when his 2019 Toyota 4Runner crashed through the front glass window of the Apple Store.
The DA’s Office says investgators found that during the five seconds before the crash Rein was accelerating the SUV up to 60 m.p.h., and there was no indication of brake usage during that time while Rein says the crash was caused by his foot becoming stuck on the accelerator pedal.
He was also indicted on Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle, 18 counts of Aggravated Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon, and 4 counts of Assault and Battery with a Dangerous Weapon for injuring 22 other people in the crash.
Rein entered the plea in Brockton Superior Court and the $100,000 bail that Rein posted in district court was transferred to the Superior Court case.
Additional conditions where imposed on Rein while he was out on bail including that he cannot operate a motor vehicle, he cannot leave the Commonwealth without prior approval, he must wear a GPS monitoring bracelet, surrender his passport, and not possess weapons.
Rein is next scheduled to appear in court on June 21.
