Anthony Caturano owner of Tonno Gloucester and JR Lodge of the F/V Tight Lines can be seen in the water pulling the victims out after breaking the window with a hammer
Chief Eric Smith reports that the Gloucester Fire Department responded Sunday when a car containing three people plunged into the water at St. Peter’s Park.
Two off-duty firefighters on a boat nearby witnessed the crash, and one immediately jumped into the Gloucester Harbor Cove water to help. Their rescue efforts were joined by several local fishermen and other bystanders at the scene.
The pair of off-duty Gloucester firefighters, Deputy Chief Andrew McRobb and Lt. William Doucette, called the incident into dispatch at 10:49 a.m., Sunday, May 18.
Lt. Doucette entered the water to help several crewmembers from Tight Lines, a Gloucester-basedlobster boat, who had broken one of the car windows with a hammer to help free the occupants.
They worked together quickly with a small group of brave bystanders to help all three of the car’s occupants out of the vehicle, which had landed on its roof.
According to a preliminary investigation, the vehicle was driven around granite barriers and over the seawall, where it plunged about 15-20 feet into the water. A Gloucester Police investigation is active and ongoing.
Gloucester Fire crews arrived on the scene and discovered all three occupants were out of the vehicle but still in the water. The bystanders and off-duty firefighters rendered aid and kept the rescued car’s occupants’ heads above the water level.
“Fortunately it was low tide and not high tide,” said Deputy Chief Tom LoGrande.
All three occupants were transported to area hospitals with varying injuries.
Lt. Doucette was also transported to an area hospital with minor injuries.
“Lt. Doucette jumped into the water with little regard for his own safety,” said Deputy Chief LoGrande. “I’m happy to report that Lt. Doucette is okay after this ordeal. Three people could have easily been lost in Gloucester this morning if not for the bold and decisive actions of these two firefighters and a group of very brave bystanders.”
Gloucester Police also responded to the scene and assisted with traffic and crowd control. A local tow company removed the vehicle from the water.
All three occupants were conscious and alert when they were removed from the water and transported to area hospitals.
“We’d like to thank everyone who helped get these three people get out of the vehicle,” said Chief Smith. “If not for all of their selfless efforts, this could have been a tragic day in Gloucester. Instead, this is an inspirational story of our community banding together to help three people in mortal danger. All of these people working together in an emergency makes me proud to be a Gloucester resident.”

The rain on the morning of Saturday, May 10, put a damper on an annual food drive that benefits The Open Door. Each year, local letter carriers from Gloucester, Rockport, Manchester and Ipswich collect donations of nonperishable food and deliver them directly to The Open Door through the Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive.
It’s a national initiative spearheaded each year by the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC) that benefits food pantries all over the country.
Unfortunately, inclement weather nearly halved the donations collected last weekend.. Local letter carriers collected approximately 9,000 pounds of good food for local people whereas last year, the same food drive collected 17,000 pounds of food on a sunny, clear-skied day.
Want to help The Open Door make up the difference and stock the shelves at its food pantries this spring?
The Open Door will be accepting additional donations of nonperishable food at all of its locations next week during business hours:
The Open Door Gloucester Food Pantry at 28 Emerson Ave., Gloucester MA will accept donations at the back of the building Monday through Friday from 8:30a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The Ipswich Community Food Pantry at 00 Southern Heights, Ipswich MA will accept donations Wednesday and Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Second Glance Thrift Store of The Open Door (Main Store) at 2 Pond Road, Gloucester MA will accept donations Monday through Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:40 p.m. at its main store.
Food insecurity has been up at The Open Door, especially over the past two years. In 2024 and in 2023, the nonprofit met a 30% increase in requests for food assistance. With looming federal cuts to programs like SNAP (formerly known as Food Stamps) and at the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), in addition to tariffs, extra donations are a huge help as The Open Door works to stock its shelves.
Most needed donations include:
Coffee
Condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayo, and salad dressings)
Cooking Oil
Peanut Butter
Canned Tuna
The Open Door asks the community to please avoid donating anything in glass containers.
