YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS — According to radio transmissions, a reckless high-speed getaway on Cape Cod’s busy Mid-Cape Highway turned catastrophic last night when a fleeing driver slammed into an innocent family, sending a mother and her child to the hospital after a violent rollover crash. The chaos unfolded around 8:45 p.m. on January 29, 2026, when a Massachusetts State Trooper spotted a red Toyota Camry barreling down Route 6 eastbound. The driver allegedly ignored an attempt to pull over and rocketed away at speeds exceeding 120 mph, according to radio transmissions. Mere moments later, the trooper reported the Camry had triggered a devastating collision near mile marker 75.6, just shy of the Yarmouth-Dennis town line. The impact flipped a red Nissan SUV, causing it to roll over and land on its side in a snowbank. Emergency crews from the Yarmouth Fire Department rushed to the scene, where they began treating the SUV’s occupants—a mother and her young child. A child’s car seat visible in the wreckage underscored the family’s vulnerability. Both were transported to Cape Cod Hospital for evaluation and treatment; their conditions remain undisclosed. The Camry’s driver, whose identity has not been released, emerged unscathed and was promptly taken into custody by state police. He refused further medical evaluation at the scene. Handcuffed and under arrest, he was transported to the State Police barracks in South Yarmouth for processing. (The exact charges have not yet been officially released…) Massachusetts State Police are leading the probe into the two-vehicle wreck, which snarled traffic and highlighted the perils of drivers allegedly attempting to evade police at high-speeds. HN will provide official updates as they become available. The following HN Video contains footage from Rte. 6 crash scene, along with state police and Yarmouth Fire Department radio transmissions.
