Boston Blotter: Alleged Road Rage Crash on Blue Hill Avenue

crime_scene_tape.jpg--A deadly car crash happened early this morning on Blue Hill Avenue. One person died, and three people, including a child and a baby, went to the hospital in critical condition. The baby was in a car seat, but it was thrown from the car.

Road rage allegedly caused the crash, and police have arrested 28-year-old Jason Bailey. He is being charged with "Leaving the Scene Personal Injury, Leaving Scene resulting in One Death, Operating Under the Influence Of Alcohol, Driving to Endanger and Speeding." The incident shut down Blue Hill Avenue for several hours.

--A body was found in Boston Harbor this morning. The Coast Guard had been searching for a swimmer who took a dive from a sailboat last night and didn't return.

--The people who forced illegal immigrants in New Bedford to work in horrible conditions have been indicted. Francesco Insolia, Dilia Costa, and Gloria Melo of Michael Bianco, Inc., enjoyed a contract to supply the military with backpacks. But their days of riding the gravy train are over. Now maybe someone should ask the guv'mint what they were thinking when they awarded a contract to these people in the first place.

The Globe article focuses on the fact that the company hired illegal immigrants. They don't mention what the workplace was like. Michael Bianco, Inc., was essentially a sweatshop, and the owners should catch some heat about that.

--Marine Sgt. Lawrence G. Hutchins III, who is from Plymouth, has been found guilty of planning the murder of an innocent Iraqi civilian. In the trial, the jury determined that the murder wasn't premeditated. His sentence is yet to be determined. According to the AP, he may get anything "from no punishment and no discharge, to life in prison without parole and a dishonorable discharge."

Here's to hoping Jason Bailey gets it in full. The world can do without people like him on the streets, terrorizing the roads.

It will be interesting to see who gets more time in prison, Lawrence Hutchins of Plymouth, (15 years in Leavenworth for acts committed in combat in Iraq) or Jason Bailey, who wiped out a family on Blue Hill Ave. I'm guessing Bailey will be out before Hutchins, given the MA judicial system.


I'm appalled that you would write such comments about Michael Bianco Inc. INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY, and these charges have just been filed.
You're totally wrong and your information is based soley on the 'charges' and obviously what you read and hear from the distorted, one-sided, media.
How sickening, this company has been chosen to be a 'scapegoat' for the US FAILED IMMIGRATION POLICY.
GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT !!!
