MILFORD Nurses at Milford Regional Medical Center have unionized.
“We are overjoyed. We are so happy and so proud,” said Karen Kerr, a nurse on one of the hospital’s COVID-19 floors. “We’re looking forward to all working together now.”
The National Labor Relations Board tallied the votes Monday, and a representative from the Massachusetts Nurses Association released the final count as nurses from the hospital celebrated on Zoom.
The vote was 256 “yes” votes to 195 “no” votes to join the state association. The group needed only a simple majority. The vote still needs to be certified, but supporters said a challenge isn’t feasible.
The other driver, a 66-year-old Medway woman who had been driving a Suburu SUV, was also taken to the hospital as a precaution, police said.
Five minutes later, at 12:49 p.m., another trooper was involved in a two-vehicle crash on Furnace Brook Parkway in Quincy, state police said.
In that crash, authorities said the trooper was behind the wheel of a marked police cruiser that crashed with a Honda Civic driven by an 86-year-old Quincy woman.
Both the trooper and woman were taken to area hospitals for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, according to police.
The cause of both crashes remain under investigation.

Conversations on the Green in Litchfield County has announced it has donated $70,000 to help local and national charities on the front lines of the ongoing battle against the coronavirus.
The group of volunteers that make up COG produces an eponymously named television talk show. This year, it was forced to cancel all its live events by the pandemic.
“It is an honor to recognize these charities with these annual awards,” said Anne Fuchs, chairman of Conversations On the Green’s Board of Directors. “While our country suffers through the Covid-19 calamity, it is more imperative than ever to acknowledge the deep commitment, innovation and vision of all of those who focus on helping our vulnerable neighbors and fellow citizens.”
