The setup allowed a car to careen off Old Marlboro Road and onto the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail, hitting a family of three from behind as they walked. The trail incident happened around 1:30 p.m. on April 28, near the intersection of Old Marlboro and Williams Roads. The family — a Concord woman, her mother, and her child in a stroller — was walking north when the car struck them. Police Capt. Brian Goldman said the trio was transported to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
