One person was hospitalized Wednesday afternoon with injuries that aren’t believed to be life-threatening sometime after a pick-up truck went into a guardrail along Pinkham Brook Road in Durham.
The driver’s side was inseparable from the guardrail, which prevented the truck from going into the Androscoggin River, Durham Fire and Rescue Chief Rob Tripp Tripp said, and all the doors were locked. A member of the Androscoggin County Sheriff’s Office smashed the front passenger window in an early attempt to gain access. Shortly after, Tripp said, fire crews bent the door away to free the driver.
The driver was the only occupant, Tripp said, and was conscious and breathing on his own when he was transported to Central Maine Medical Center. Lisbon rescue also responded.
Traffic was rerouted while emergency services responded. The scene was cleared at about 5:30 p.m.
