Police and Fire respond to four vehicle crash with injuries on Route 6 that destroys camper

Someone was sent to the hospital after a four-vehicle crash involving seven people on Route 6.

According to the Eastham Police Department, at approximately 12:50 p.m., the Eastham Police and Fire Departments responded to the area of Route 6 and Brittney’s Way for a report of a motor vehicle crash.

The first responding units located a four-vehicle crash including a vehicle that had rolled onto its side and a small pop-up style camper that was completely destroyed.

One of the seven occupants from all three vehicles was transported by ambulance to Cape Cod Hospital with what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries. Due to the extensive debris in the roadway, Route 6 was restricted to one lane in each direction for approximately two hours while cleanup was conducted.

Preliminary investigation indicates that a northbound vehicle making a lane change collided with a second northbound vehicle, beginning a chain reaction crash involving all four vehicles.

The crash remains under investigation by the Eastham Police Department.
