Massachusetts woman accused of driving into Fenway Park, crashing into Coast Guard base: 'We are all going to be in a movie'

A Salem woman apparently went on a rampage early Monday morning, according to police who say she drove into Gate C at Fenway Park, crashed into the Coast Guard base, hit vehicles in the Ted Williams Tunnel, ran over a man’s foot, and more.

Colleen Gibbs, 48, will likely face numerous charges after the mayhem on the local roads, police said.

Those charges include assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (motor vehicle), destruction of property, reckless operation of a motor vehicle, resisting arrest and more.

The chaos reportedly started in Revere just after 7 a.m., when a Massachusetts State Police trooper was flagged down by a motorist in the area of Ocean Avenue and Revere Street.

The motorist reported that a Honda Accord was being operated “erratically and aggressively” in the area, State Police said. The trooper then saw the suspect vehicle passing his location on Ocean Avenue.

“The female operator honked the car’s horn and yelled something before speeding off,” State Police said in a statement.

The trooper activated his cruiser’s lights and siren, and tried to stop the Honda. Gibbs refused to stop, police said.

Police decided to not chase the vehicle because of the area’s density.

Then at about 7:30 a.m., troopers responded to reports of a hit-and-run crash at the entrance to the Ted Williams Tunnel in East Boston. The same driver who fled from the trooper in Revere had struck two vehicles at the entrance to the tunnel, police said.

Then, Gibbs was allegedly involved in a crash at the U.S. Coast Guard base in Boston before driving into Gate C at Fenway Park.
