Medfield Man Arrested for OUI After 3-Car Crash Wednesday

A Medfield man was arrested for operating under the influence of alcohol (OUI) Wednesday evening following a 3-car crash on South Street that sent one person to the hospital, according to Medfield Chief of Police Robert E. Meaney Jr.

James Wilson, 44, of 93 Pine St. was arrested and charged with OUI and cited for speeding and failure to stay within marked lanes.

The crash was reported to Medfield Police at 5:30 p.m. Wilson's vehicle was travelling north on Route 27 when he attempted to turn onto South Street and crashed into two cars waiting to turn onto Route 27 from South Street, according to Meaney.

"The car was travelling too fast to successfully make the turn and hit cars that were waiting to enter Route 27 from South Street," Meaney said. "As a result of the crash [Wilson's] vehicle ended up on its side."

Medfield Police and Fire units responded to the scene, closing that section of South Street for about an hour, Meaney said. Two vehicles were towed and one individual from one of the cars Wilson's vehicle struck was transported to the hospital for "non life-threatening injuries." Wilson did have a passenger in his car but both were uninjured.

Wilson will appear in Dedham District Court Thursday morning.
