WATERTOWN — One man was transported to Samaritan Medical Center after a crash on Factory Street Friday morning.
Police responded to Factory Street and Polk Street shortly after 7 a.m. for the crash. According to officers on the scene, the driver of a Honda Accord turned left on to Factory Street from Polk Street, apparently failing to yield the right of way to a Ford Edge that was already driving east on Factory. The result was the Accord turned into the Edge and they crashed.
The Accord came to rest in the middle of the road, which caused the street to be closed from Mill Street to Mechanic Street.
Police said the driver of the Edge was taken into an ambulance on a stretcher and then transported to Samaritan Medical Center with what appeared to be minor injuries. The driver of the Accord suffered a bump of the head and was not transported. Police said Factory Street was likely going to reopen shortly after a tow truck arrived.
