New Bedford Police, Fire Department respond to rollover accident, driver flees scene

At approximately 2:15am this morning New Bedford Police and Fire Departments responded to reports of a multi-car accident on Ashley Blvd. near Beetle Street.

Upon arrival, responders discovered a parked car with significant damage, and an Audi flipped over onto its side, with no driver in sight, apparently having fled from the scene.

The New Bedford Fire Department managed to upright the Audi. Preliminary investigation suggests the driver of the Audi for unknown reasons struck a parked car, causing him to roll over his vehicle.

This is an ongoing story and investigation. We will continually update the story as more detail come in.
