Rare Right Whale Spotted off Massachusetts Coast Duration: 01:06 A critically endangered North Atlantic right whale was spotted swimming off the coast of Massachusetts on April 20. The North Atlantic right whale is classified as critically endangered, with an estimated population of fewer than 400. Right whales migrate to the waters off Massachusetts during spring, but in recent years have been arriving earlier in the year and staying longer, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. NOAA Fisheries’ Slow Zones program designates 10-knot speed zones when right whales are detected in waters from Maine through Virginia. Vessels are asked to slow down to speeds of 10 knots or under for 15 days after a sighting. Credit: Becky Pingree via Storyful

In the 23 years since she bought her Sharswood home, Donna Price has seen four cars crash into her property.
Speeding cars have taken down trees outside her rowhouse and uprooted the light post at 19th and Master. Time and time again, they’ve run into the fence her uncle built along the perimeter of her property. Most recently, a crash in August of 2015 damaged the chain-link structure beyond repair.
“The speeding is just horrific,” said Price, block captain of the 1900 block of Master. “Thank God for the traffic light and my fence, otherwise they would’ve landed on my porch.”
