A 28-year-old Malden resident said he owes his life to an unknown good samaritan who helped free him from the wreckage.
On April 3, the Somerville Fire Department responded to a rollover accident near exit 30 on Interstate 93. A 28-year-old Malden man who says he was driving the car that rolled over emailed Somerville Patch to thank the people who saved him and recount his story. Matt Shanbar said he was driving in the middle lane of the highway when an out-of-control car careened into him. "From overhearing witnesses talking to police when I was waiting for the ambulance, a driver tried to get out of the HOV lane ... I saw him when he already lost control," the Malden man wrote. The cars slid into the right lane and hit the guard rail, Shanbar said. "That's when my car popped up and flipped onto the roof," he wrote. "The car came to rest on its side, …

No one was injured in the Friday afternoon accident.
A car ran off the road on Meacham Road in Davis Square Friday afternoon, taking out a fire hydrant and a parking meter before coming to a stop. No one was injured in the accident, according to Somerville Fire Department District Chief James King. The accident occured at around 2 p.m., and by 2:30 p.m. a crew from the department of public works was on the scene to clean up the debris. King said the fire hydrant "did what it was supposed to do, break off with no water." No geyser of water shot into the air or flooded the area. Nor were there quarters spewn onto the sidewalk and street from the knocked-over parking meter. Perhaps that's because meters in Davis Square now accept credit cards.
