on Monday afternoon at a time.
All of that out for you coming
up in a few. Back over to you
guys. David. Thank you. I want
to get right to this breaking
news out of Plainville. A ten
year old was killed in a crash
involving a stolen car. It all
happened late last night near
Route 1 and 495. Now, five other
people were hurt here. Five cars
in total. Damaged as well. NBC
10 S Mary Markos is live in
Plainville this morning to
explain all of this Mary. Tragic
story here. Really
heartbreaking. And that family
of six was rushed to the
hospital after that chain
reaction crashed just down the
road from where I’m standing now
And sadly, that ten year old
child did not make it. Now,
state police were working the
Kenny Chesney concert at
Gillette Stadium, responding to
the scene around 830 last night.
They say Michael Scollay, a 42
year old man from Oxford, was
speeding down Route 1 south in
this red Jeep Grand Cherokee,
which he allegedly stole from a
parking lot at Gillette. He rear
ended a Nissan Altima at a red
light near the intersection of
one route and 495. In that
Nissan was a mother, a father,
and their four children. All six
of them were rushed to the
hospital with serious injuries,
where one child, a ten year old,
was later pronounced dead.
Escalus was arrested for
suspected driving under the
influence and was taken to a
nearby hospital, where he
remains in police custody. A
total of five cars were damaged
in this crash. State police
closed down Route 1 south at the
intersection with 495 and 495
exits onto Route 1 north and
south for a few hours. The roads
reopened shortly before
midnight. Once the scene was
clear. Now state Police are
extending their condolences to
the family that lost their ten
year old child. They are not
identifying that family at this
