Palmer, MA (July 12, 2025) — A three-car collision in Palmer sent one driver to the hospital Thursday afternoon and caused delays for local traffic as crews worked to clear the scene and repair damage.
According to reports, Palmer Police responded to Ware Road shortly before 3 p.m. on July 10 after a chain-reaction crash involving three vehicles and a utility pole. Investigators say the incident began when a 2016 Toyota collided with a 2021 Chevrolet while both vehicles were traveling northbound.

Emergency responders transported the driver of the Toyota to a nearby hospital for treatment of injuries sustained in the crashes. The condition of the other drivers involved has not been reported, but no additional injuries were noted at the scene.
Utility crews were called to address damage caused by the impact, and drivers traveling through the area were urged to expect delays as repair work continued into Thursday evening.
