Sky 5 captured a dramatic scene on Tuesday morning in Taunton, Massachusetts, as a concrete truck toppled into a foundation hole at a construction site. The incident occurred on Jefferson Street and prompted an immediate response from the local fire department.
According to Fire Chief Timothy Bradshaw, the Taunton firefighters were alerted to the motor vehicle crash involving a cement truck around 11:30 a.m. The Redi-Mix Services Inc. truck had only one occupant – the driver – who was subsequently transported to an area hospital for medical attention.
In order to manage the situation effectively, Jefferson Street had to be closed off for several hours following the accident. However, it has since been reopened for regular traffic.
The Taunton Police Department is currently investigating the crash and working towards determining its cause and any potential contributing factors.
Incidents like these serve as reminders of the risks involved in construction work and highlight how crucial safety measures are in preventing accidents.
