Negligent operation case against Worcester man dismissed

Concord District Court # 08-1315. Massachusetts State Police reported that on July 26, 2008 at 5:47 a.m. a trooper was dispatched to Concord for a report of a one car accident. When he arrived to the scene he observed the defendant’s car down an embankment lying on its side with the undercarriage facing towards the roadway. The trooper next saw the defendant covered in dirt stains. When asked how the accident happened the defendant stated that when he went to answer his cell phone he lost sight of the road and ended up in a ditch. The trooper also detected a strong odor of alcohol on the defendant. Today our office succeeded in getting the negligent operation case dismissed. The defendant was also charged with OUI. That matter was continued without a finding and a G.L. c. 94D disposition was imposed. Our client will be permitted to operate with a restricted license for forty five days. Afterwards, his full operating privileges will be restored.
