A police car chase around 10pm last night that ended in the south end of New Bedford resulted in a male driver crashing and submerging his car into Clarks Cove with a female passenger.

The driver entered the Clarks Cove through one of the West Rodney French Blvd boat ramps. The woman was wrapped in blankets and was taken to the hospital due to the cold water.

This video shows the man being arrested, the woman wrapped in blankets being carried by a stretcher into an ambulance and police divers recovering the submerged vehicle with a chain and tow truck.

There were at least FOUR overdoses in New Bedford yesterday. New Bedford police, fire and EMS saved a man’s life with Narcan at Riverside Park.

A homeless man who appears to be living in the wooded area near the water at Riverside Park in the north end of New Bedford overdosed around 5:30pm yesterday. An uncooperative person called 911 and reported the man turning blue and his location, but wouldn’t give anymore details.

As seen in the video, New Bedford police, fire and EMS climbed through the fence and brush to use Narcan to save the man’s life. You can also see his encampment with tent, clothes and drug paraphernalia. Police did seize a needle likely used in the overdose.

We had a chance to film on the 2nd and third levels of Fort Taber in New Bedford during a living history camp as part of the continuing recognition of the Centennial Observance of World War I (1914 – 1918).

World War I, also known as the First World War or the Great War, began on July 28, 1914, and ended at 11:00 AM on November 11, 1918, (11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th Month).

The war was a global conflict mostly centered in Europe but saw significant fronts in Africa, Middle East, Southwest Asia, and in the Pacific Islands. More than 9 million combatants and 7 million civilians died as a result of the war, a casualty rate exacerbated by the belligerents’ technological and industrial sophistication, and tactical stalemate. It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history, paving the way for major political changes, including revolutions in many of the nations involved.

A New Bedford Police cruiser was involved in an accident with another vehicle on Friday after avoiding a “kid on a quad that blew a red light.” From the driver of the second vehicle involved in the accident:

“A kid on a quad blew a red light coming from Coggeshall Street. Me and the officer where going through the lights on Purchase Street, but we both swerved to miss the quad. We ended hitting each other instead. Me my wife and son are fine, but sore this morning. Both officers got checked out but are okay, but probably more sore then us. They jumped right out to make sure we where good. They where so nice and caring about my son. Just glad the kid on the quad didn’t get hit as he had no helmet, nothing. We where doing 30mph and it would of been a different night. Kid would of been dead or more hurt then just whiplash.”
