images-1-3East Bridgewater, MA (July 10, 2018) – A violent crash between a dump truck and pickup left four people, including two children, with injuries Tuesday in East Bridgewater.  The crash happened Tuesday morning just after 11:00 am at Plymouth and Washington Streets.  The force of the collision caused the dump truck to flip onto its side. The pickup truck was severely damaged, with its axle lying in the roadway.

Nearby Good Samaritans assisted the injured victims prior to police and rescue workers arriving on scene.  The Good Samaritans assisted people out of their vehicles.  Firefighters then arrived and took over providing first aid.  Two children, ages 5 and 7, were transported via ambulance to South Shore Hospital with serious, but non life-threatening injuries.    A 40 year old man from Weymouth was transported to a hospital with chest, neck and leg injuries.  A 60 year old Halifax man was transported to the hospital for precautionary reasons.

The road remained closed for about two hours and was re-opened around 1:30 pm. East Bridgewater police and fire officials investigated the crash.  The cause of the crash was not immediately released.

Boston Injury Attorney

If you’ve been hurt in a collision, you need a good personal injury attorney.  Collisions happen suddenly, violently and without warning.  They can leave you in a world of hurt, both literally and figuratively.  You are facing high medical costs, forced time off work, and are dealing with recovery from painful injuries, which can be quite long-lasting and severe.  The insurance company will likely be in touch with you right away to offer a quick settlement which may initially seem attractive just to be done with the ordeal.  However, it is likely that their offer does not take into account all factors of your case.  You should not compound the accident by choosing to handle things yourself or hiring an inexperienced attorney to take your case.
