"The head-on collision of a car and a dump truck closed Route 6 in Truro today near the turn-off for Route 6A.
The
driver of the car, who was not identified by the police, was
transported by ambulance to Cape Cod Hospital with unknown injuries.
The accident, the town’s second head-on crash on
Route 6 in two weeks, happened about 11:30 a.m. when a northbound Toyota
Camry apparently crossed into the southbound lane and collided with a
heavy-duty dump truck owned by Noons Construction Co. of North Truro,
said Truro Police Chief John Thomas.
The driver of the truck, who Thomas would not yet identify, was not hurt, he said.
Truro
rescue personnel initially called for a helicopter to transport the
driver of the car to Boston, but the helicopter was grounded due to
inclement weather, Thomas said.
More than a
dozen fire fighters, paramedics and police officers from Truro,
Wellfleet, Orleans and Harwich have been at the scene. Some of the
officers are members of the Cape Cod Regional Law Enforcement Council’s
accident reconstruction team.
Sand from the
dump truck was strewn across the highway and the car’s front passenger
side was crushed and pinned beneath the truck’s front-end."
