ATTLEBORO, MA — Massachusetts State Troopers are investigating after they say a North Attleboro police officer's cruiser was struck Thursday night, leaving two people injured. Police say the accident caused traffic to be backed up for miles. The cruiser was parked on I-95 South near exit 5, working on a construction detail when investigators say the officer was hit. State Police say the officer was taken to Sturdy Memorial Hospital and the driver of the other car was taken to a Rhode Island hospital with a lower-body injury.
