FRAMINGHAM – Police will cite a Framingham woman who crashed into a house on Concord Street on November 14, said Framingham Police Lt. Patricia Grigas.
Megan McCarthy, 20, of 33 Summer Street was travelling south on “Concord Street” when “she went to reach for her phone on the passenger’s seat and in doing so she pulled the steering wheel to the right and struck a curb,” according to the police report.
The 2011 BWW then “veered back into the road and crossed the double yellow median line and proceeded to jump the curb in the northbound lane of Concord Street,” according to the police report.
