FARMINGTON – Two men were injured Monday when a car rear-ended a street sweeper on Wilton Road, police said.
Don Sandborn, 47, of Belmont, N.H., was sweeping the edge of the road in front of Hight Chevrolet with a sweeper owned by a New Hampshire construction company when a car ran into the back of it, Farmington police officer Edward Hastings said Monday.
Lawrence Greenwood, 87, of Farmington, driver of the car, didn’t see the sweeper, Hastings said.
There was a cloud of dust, but witnesses said they saw the sweeper and that its lights were flashing, Hastings said.
Sandborn complained of pain in his back and Greenleaf complained of chest pain as a result of the accident, which was reported at 10:18 a.m., he said. Both were taken to the hospital by ambulance, he said.
Sandborn was treated at Franklin Memorial Hospital in Farmington and had been released by early afternoon, hospital spokeswoman Jill Gray said Monday.
Greenwood was being admitted as a patient at the hospital, she said at 3 p.m.
Both men were wearing seat belts, Hastings said.
