Police said speed was clearly a factor as the car was traveling at a high-rate of speed when it went off the road.
LUDLOW – A driver suffered serious head injuries Monday when his car went off the road at Cady and Grimes streets and struck a tree, police said.
The driver, whose name was not released, was taken by ambulance to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield for treatment, Ludlow Police Sgt. Joseph Metcalfe said.
Metcalfe said the man was driving a Chrysler Sebring at a high rate of speed when the car went off the road just before 6:30 p.m.
The Hampden District Attorney's office was notified, and the Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section was called to assist with the investigation.
Cady Street was closed for more than four hours while police investigated and cleared the crash site, Metcalfe said.
