A motorcycle rider was injured and is facing several charges after a crash on Monday.
According to Det. Sergeant Moses Pereira, at approximately 9:00 p.m., units were dispatched to the intersection of Warren Street and Plymouth Avenue for a collision between a Honda motorcycle and a Dodge Ram pickup truck.
Upon arrival, Officer Robson Pires was advised that the Dodge Ram was attempting to turn South onto Plymouth Avenue from Warren Street. As he attempted to do so, the left side of his vehicle was struck by the Honda motorcycle.

He’ll get a slap on the wrist by a liberal judge. Should carry a huge penalty for the firearm without a license.

Massachusetts law imposes a mandatory minimum sentence of 18 months in jail or prison for illegally carrying a firearm, even for a first offense. A minimum sentence must be served day-for-day and cannot be suspended.
If you were carrying a loaded firearm without a license, you may be sentenced to an additional 2.5 years in prison after the 18-month mandatory minimum.
