NICKERSON STATE PARK
Travel the road to the upper campgrounds in Nickerson State Park and you may think for a moment that you have been magically transported to the Berkshire Hills or the piney woods of the Carolinas. Nowhere in sight are the sand dunes and salt marshes usually associated with Cape Cod. Instead, you are surrounded by woods that slope down to the banks of eight crystal clear fresh water ponds. Yet, if you walk or bicycle through the woods, you will find no rivers or streams feeding the ponds. These are “kettle ponds,” among more than 300 formed as glaciers retreated from the Cape over 10,000 years ago. Completely dependent on groundwater and precipitation, the water level in the ponds fluctuates from season to season and year to year.

| High-Speed Drunken Crash Rocks Low-Speed Centerville Neighborhood, Cops Say Tuesday June 23, 2026 |
|
CENTERVILLE, MASSACHUSETTS ? A quiet family neighborhood was rocked last night when a speeding Dodge Ram pickup truck slammed into a tree on Quisett Road near the Centerville-Hyannis village line.
Barnstable Police say 21-year-old Didar Shapenov of Marlboro was behind the wheel. He was taken to Cape Cod Hospital with minor injuries, where officers arrested him and charged him with operating under the influence of liquor, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, and speeding.
Hyannis Firefighters responded to the scene to clean up fluids and tend to the driver. A sheriff's crime scene unit later photographed the wrecked pickup truck and the injured tree.
Neighbors heard the loud crash and came outside during a light rain to investigate. Many were stunned by how fast the truck had been traveling through their normally low-speed residential area.
It remains unclear why Shapenov was driving at such a high rate of speed in the quiet neighborhood.
HN Reminder: The initial details contained in the above report are based on radio transmissions and information from police sources. The defendant is presumed to be innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
