  YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS – At approximately 6:15 this morning, police and firefighters received a report that a vehicle had just crashed into a house at 240 South Shore Drive. A Mercedes SUV apparently took out a 25 MPH speed limit sign and barreled through a fence… before crashing through the front wall of a single-family home. The out-of-control SUV left a path of complete destruction, including walls, windows, and furnishings. By some miracle, the family members inside the home were not injured. But it was a rude awakening that left everyone in a state of shock. Equally shocking – for first responders, neighbors, and the people who just had part of their house destroyed – was the fact the driver fled the scene on foot, instead of staying and checking on whether anyone was hurt, let alone taking responsibility for their actions. Police immediately began investigating, learning the Mercedes came back registered out of Florida, to a 49-year-old woman named Mary (the correct spellings of Mary’s hyphenated last names were unavailable at the time of this report), according to radio transmissions. Yarmouth Police computer records disclosed that the same “Mary” was involved a “verbal domestic” they investigated back in 2019, according to radio transmissions. The location of the 2019 verbal domestic was just over a block away from the crash scene. Yarmouth police officers and a Massachusetts State Trooper quickly responded to 40 Aft Road, where they found a woman with facial injuries. The woman was eventually placed onto a stretcher, loaded into an ambulance, and transported to Cape Cod Hospital. A Yarmouth Police patrolman followed the ambulance, and the investigation was expected to continue at CCH, according to sources. Sources say the woman taken to the hospital initially denied being the driver who fled the crash scene. But police suspect otherwise, according to sources. The investigation is very active and ongoing. Investigators collected blood evidence for DNA analysis. They also collected fingerprints, according to sources. There were also cameras on the property that allegedly tell the entire story, sources say. And there were witnesses as well. One neighbor told HN they heard a loud argument break out in the vicinity of 40 Aft Road just before 6:00 a.m. It sounded like a wife screaming at her husband, according to the neighbor. The neighbor then heard the woman holler, “YOU’RE GOING TO BE SORRY! YOU’RE GOING TO BE SORRY!” The neighbor then heard a car rip past their house along Aft Road before turning south onto Mayo Road, while accelerating at an extremely high rate of speed toward the corner of Mayo Road and South Shore Ave, the scene of the crash. Directly across the street from 40 Aft Road, HN located a framed wall-hanging, like one that might ordinarily belong neatly hung in someone’s living room. The ornamental/ decorative mirror was cracked, appearing very much out of place on the grassy shoulder of Aft Road. Back at the crash/crime scene, a Town of Yarmouth Building Inspector affixed a fluorescent yellow sign on the side of the heavily damaged home which read “RESTRICTED USE.” At the time of this report, and due to the amount of damage, it remains uncertain whether the family will be able to return inside their home anytime soon. The Yarmouth Police Department is investigating. HN will provide official updates to this story as they become available.
