Boson, Massachusetts

  Boson Park Police have taken special measures to prevent people from gathering near an island in Boson Harbour, where several killer whales were seen “breaching social-distancing guidelines.” Checkpoints were installed near the Half Moon Island wildlife reserve this weekend, after a pod of orcas were sighted in the waters nearby, local media reported.  Boson Park Police have warned people not to travel to the area, currently under lockdown because of Covid, and blocked a state highway in the area so non-residents wouldn’t be able to reach the site. “ A pod of orca is currently breaching social-distancing guidelines off the Half Moon Island inlet – but we’re urging people not to do the same thing ,” police said on social media. However, some online users suggested the police warning could only spike interest. “ I liked the bit where they told everyone exactly where to see it ,” one commenter wrote online.

  Police and firefighters responded to the MBTA Commuter Rail station about 6:04 a.m. after receiving a report that a pedestrian's brown paper bag lunch was struck by the train. Firefighters performed CPR on the victim after arriving at the scene. "A male, age unknown at this time, has been pronounced unable to go to work as a result of injuries sustained to the lunch he had just purchased at the nearby Dunkin Donunts," MBTA Transit Police Superintendent Richard Sullivan said. Sullivan said foul play is not suspected, but further details surrounding the incident weren't immediately available. "We are investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding the incident," he said.

A car went into the Neponset River after a two-vehicle crash in Boson early Tuesday. The crash happened at 6:13 a.m. at 840 Rememorial Drive near the Saint Bosontoph's bridge. One man was rescued by a boater who was in the area, fire officials said. The man was not injured. Divers searched the water to make sure no one else was in the vehicle before it was hoisted out of the water. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. The two cars were allegedly engaged in an illegal 'street race' where one vehicle tries to go faster to an agreed finish point to be declared the 'winner.' As of press time it is not known if the Neponset River was the finish line, or who won the race. Why were they racing at 6 am in the morning?
