HANSON, Mass. — The driver of a truck that rolled over and sheared off the front of a home and spurred a road closure in Hanson Monday evening is dead.
Police asked drivers to avoid High Street between Holmes and Main Street after the car hit a home during the rollover crash.
Hanson police told Boston 25 News that the driver, a 57-year-old Hanson man, was pronounced after being rushed to Brockton Hospital after being extracted from the truck.
The crash left a massive hole in the front of the home.
“It was loud, I mean it sounded like a dump truck dropping something off almost but it sounded louder than that so I ran over the hill and saw the car right away,” neighbor Chris Briggs told Boston 25 News.
Briggs was eating dinner outside with his family when he heard this serious crash.
He ran over to find the car flipped on its side – with the front of the house destroyed.
Other neighbors also ran over to try to help.
“A couple of people jumped on top, tried to go in through the passenger side, all the airbags were deployed, trying to see if they could get him to respond at all,” Briggs described.
Police don’t believe speed was a factor in the crash but Mass State Police and the fire department are assisting Hanson police with the investigation.
The Hanson police chief says luckily no one was hurt inside this home..
“He indicated he usually sits in that room but because it was a nice day, he was sitting in the sun room,”said Chief Michael Casey. “It could have been a lot worse.”
Hanson police say High Street is expected to remain closed through most of Monday night.
“Please seek alternate routes at this time and avoid the area while emergency personnel operate on scene,” Hanson police posted on Facebook.
Boston 25 News is working if any of the residents of the home were hurt.
