[00:00:22] A second crash involving a car and a motorcycle in Quincy is under investigation.
[00:00:28] Police say it happened on Washington street just before the Four River Bridge Rotary on Sunday, shortly after noontime in Quincy Point. The operator of the motorcycle suffered very serious injuries and was rushed to the hospital. The motor vehicle operator suffered minor injuries. The crash is still under investigation. Last Saturday afternoon, a crash between a motorcycle and a car on East Quantum street in North Quincy also left that motorcycle operator with serious injuries. That crash is also under investigation by the Quincy Police Crash Reconstruction Team.
[00:01:07] Police in Cohasset are investigating the death of a man found unresponsive on a hiking trail. Officers and fire crews responded to Whitney woods after receiving a 911 call about 10:30 yesterday morning. The caller reported finding the person on a remote trail in the park. Emergency responders hiked about one and a half miles over rugged terrain to find an injured man in his early 70s. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police used two off road vehicles to bring personnel and equipment and officers later assisted personnel from the Office of the Chief Medical examiner of Massachusetts to remove the man from the woods.
[00:01:51] Authorities closed off part of the woods for several hours as the scene was processed. Police said that the man's death is not believed to be suspicious and that there is no danger to the public, but the case remains under investigation.

[00:02:11] Bradley Rain faced a judge at Brockton Superior Court yesterday nearly four years after prosecutors say he drove through an Apple store in Hingham that ultimately killed a 65 year old man and injured several others. The court hearing comes as Rain awaits trial on charges that include second degree murder. Prosecutors say Rain was arrested by Hingham police on Sunday for failing an alcohol test, which is one of the conditions listed in his probational release.
[00:02:47] Other conditions include no driving and giving up his passport. The commonwealth filed a motion to revoke his bail, which was granted by a judge yesterday. Rain's pre trial probation was revoked and he is to remain in custody for up to 90 days. His defense pushed back against the Commonwealth at Brockton Superior Court. It is not the first time prosecutors say this has happened. In September of 2023, a judge revoked Rain's bail for 60 days after authorities say they lost contact with his GPS monitor. Months after that, Rain was back in custody after prosecutors say the device died again and they couldn't reach him. Rain was released once again while the case moved forward.
[00:03:36] All stems back to 2022 when prosecutors say Rain drove through an Apple store at the Derby street shops in Hingham. A 65 year old man was killed and dozens were hurt. Rain has pleaded not guilty to a long list of charges that include second degree murder and motor vehicle homicide. His trial has been delayed several times.
[00:03:59] Rain is due back in court in October.

Clancy's on trial for the murder in 2023, the strangulation deaths of her children. She she has pleaded not guilty. The case hinges on Clancy's mental health.
