• Authorities identify 55-year-old Fall River man killed in pedestrian collision (fallriverreporter.com) — A 55-year-old Fall River man was fatally struck while crossing Belmont Street in Brockton Friday night, in a dimly lit area outside a crosswalk. Brockton and State Police say video shows the SUV traveling at normal speed, and no charges have been filed as the investigation into the collision continues.
• There's a goat on the lam in Mass. And he's proving awfully tough to capture (nbcboston.com) — A wandering goat nicknamed Brady has been spotted from Bridgewater through Brockton and Stoughton before settling into an Easton backyard, where he’s been eluding police and animal control. Local officials and a veterinarian say he’s healthy, friendly, and likely an escapee from someone’s collection, and they’re still trying to safely capture him and find a permanent home.
