A lawyer representing the woman injured in a head-on collision in Marshfield for which an off-duty cop faces criminal charges says that she suffered “extensive injuries.”

Attorney Adam Becker of the Keches Law Group told the Herald that his client Grace Owen “sustained extensive injuries and has already undergone three surgical procedures, including a 12-hour surgery, and remains hospitalized as an inpatient.”

“At this time, the family is focused entirely on Grace and her recovery while awaiting further information from the ongoing police investigation,” Becker said.

Owen was injured in a three-vehicle crash Sunday night in Marshfield on Route 139, which is known as Plain Street in that section of the town.

Marshfield Police Officer Richard Perry now faces several criminal charges related to the crash: operating under the influence of alcohol while causing serious bodily injury, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, two counts of marked lanes violation, and speed greater than reasonable and proper.

Perry is on administrative leave as the police investigation continues.

When police and firefighters arrived at the crash scene a little after 9 p.m. Sunday they saw that three vehicles had been involved: a Jeep operated by Perry, a Honda Civic that was overturned, and a Hyundai Elantra.

Perry was able to exit his vehicle on his own while the operator of the Civic — Owen — needed to be extracted with the use of lifesaving hydraulic rescue tools, according to a MPD statement. The operator of the Elantra was not injured.

Police say that the initial investigation indicates that Perry’s Jeep was traveling far too fast in the westbound lane and going over the double-yellow lines in order to pass first a tow truck and then the Elantra. It was during this second passing attempt that the Jeep collided head-on with the Civic which was traveling eastbound.
