Cumberland road reopens after early morning crash

The police have reopened a stretch of Diamond Hill Road in Cumberland that was closed for about a half hour after an early morning crash.

The accident between a garbage truck and a Jeep Cherokee wasn’t very serious, but the road closure from 6:45 to about 7:15 a.m. will likely “mess up traffic for a while,” Capt. James P. Coyne said.

Both drivers were taken to Rhode Island Hospital – one with a laceration and the other with a possible hip injury, Patrolman Robert Fay said.

The accident closed Diamond Hill Road (Route 114) between Colonial Avenue and Seneca Street, just south of Route 295.
