Two-car collision There was a two-car accident on the intersection of Central, King, and Washington Streets Friday just before noon. The collision happened almost directly in front of the Westfield police headquarters. The vehicles were two SUV’s, one black and one white. The black vehicle appeared to have struck the side of the white vehicle with its front bumper. Airbags deployed in just the white vehicle and there was at least one injury in which the occupant was trans- ported to the hospital. Both vehicles suffered signifi- cant damage and at least on had to be towed from the scene. Police directed traffic while one of the cars was still in the road.

To the Editor Hello Westfield, and Ward 3… a number of people have asked: why are you doing this? And, what are you getting out of it? To answer the 2nd, first. At 70, I do not have too many years left, so personal satisfaction, and sense of purpose thus self-worth. Not, too much else to be got, other than a bit of name recognition so that I can do more of my bucket list. Since age 13, I have been involved in helping to do good stuff. OK, part 1.
