The crash scene ran about 50 yards along Pleasant Street, the district attorney's office said. A Mercedes sedan was located on the eastbound side of Pleasant Street with heavy damage to its front and rear. The driver was taken to Brockton Hospital with minor injuries.
A second vehicle, a Hyundai Elantra, was found about 50 feet east of the Mercedes, with heavy front end damage. The driver of that vehicle was not injured in the crash.
A motorcycle was also located about 50 feet from the Mercedes. The driver was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital with minor injuries. A second motorcyclist involved in the crash was also taken to Good Samaritan Hospital, also with minor injuries.
Authorities said it appears the initial crash involving the pedestrians triggered a second crash involving the two motorcycles, which in turn caused a third crash involving one of the motorcycles and another motor vehicle.
The crash remains under investigation.
