A vehicle collided with the pro shop at Brae Burn Country Club on Fuller Street in West Newton on September 19, 2026, injuring three individuals and damaging the building's exterior wall. Newton police responded to emergency calls after the crash, securing the scene and attending to the victims.
The driver of the car and two employees who work in the pro shop were the only persons involved in the incident. All three sustained injuries classified as minor. Each was transported to a nearby hospital for treatment, where they were evaluated and released after receiving care.
Police officials indicated that the crash caused a breach in the pro shop's wall, prompting immediate concerns about the structural integrity of the building. In response, the city engineer for West Newton arranged for the damaged portion of the wall to be boarded up, preventing further exposure to the elements and ensuring safety for club members and the public.
The Brae Burn Country Club, a private golf facility, confirmed that the pro shop was temporarily closed while repairs are undertaken. Club representatives did not disclose the identity of the driver or the circumstances that led to the vehicle striking the building. No arrests have been reported, and the investigation remains ongoing under the jurisdiction of Newton police.
Local authorities have not released additional details regarding the cause of the crash, such as weather conditions or potential mechanical issues with the vehicle. The focus remains on the health of the injured parties and the restoration of the pro shop's facilities. The city engineer's swift action to board up the wall reflects standard protocol for addressing structural damage following such incidents.
Residents and club members are advised to stay clear of the area while repairs continue. The Newton police department will release further information as the investigation progresses, and any updates will be communicated through official channels.
