Vehicle Crashes into West Suffield Fire Station

The Suffield Police Department is investigating a collision that occurred Wednesday night in the area known as “Ebbs Corner” in West Suffield, in which a vehicle drove into the fire station building.

Around 10:40 p.m., a 911 call was received about a motor vehicle accident. Responding officers determined that Wolfgang Meier of 15 Eagle Street, Southwick, Mass., was operating his 2002 Ford Explorer southbound on Babbs Road when he crossed through the intersection of Mountain Road, left the roadway and struck the northeast corner of the Suffield Volunteer Fire Department Station 3, Lt. Richard Brown said.

Meier was injured in the collision and was transported to the hospital for evaluation, Brown said.

The building was inspected by the town’s building inspector and deemed unsafe. As a result, the emergency equipment has been relocated and mutual aid arrangements have been made with the neighboring town of Southwick, Brown said.

The cause of the accident remains under investigation. No charges have been filed against Meier at this time, according to Brown.

Anyone that may have witnessed the collision is asked to contact the Suffield Police Department at (860) 668-3870.
