VAN CRASHES IN MEDWAY DURING AN IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT INVOLVED PURSUIT.

NEWS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Incident: I26-3454
Date: 4/1/2026
Time: 07:53 am
 
Medway Police officers responded this morning to the area of West and Fisher Streets following multiple reports of unmarked police vehicles traveling at a high rate of speed on West Street. One caller also reported that a white van had crashed on Fisher Street, with what appeared to be U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on scene.
 
Upon arrival, our officers were advised by federal agents that ICE had attempted to stop a white van on Route 109 in Milford. The vehicle fled, struck an agent-occupied vehicle, and continued eastbound into Medway via West Street before turning onto Fisher Street.
 
Once on Fisher Street, the operator and a passenger exited the still-moving vehicle, which then left the roadway and crashed near the high-tension lines. No injuries were reported as a result of the crash.
Agents pursued the individuals on foot and searched the area with their vehicles; however, the occupants were not taken into custody.
 
The lower portion of Fisher Street was temporarily closed. The vehicle has since been removed, and the roadway is now open.
 
The Medway Police Department was not involved in the enforcement operation, other than assisting with traffic control and facilitating the vehicle's removal to safely reopen the roadway. Any inquiries regarding this incident should be directed to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
