An injured driver trapped in a vehicle following a crash on Lincoln Way West (U.S. 30) Wednesday afternoon allegedly pulled a gun on first responders who were attempting to rescue him.

A dump truck crashed into a utility pole at about 1:45 p.m., according to Franklin County Emergency Services. It happened in the area of 1038 Lincoln Way West, near a Sunoco gas station and 30 West restaurant.

The dump truck was setting against a guard rail on the south side of the road and the driver was confined inside when first responders arrived, Franklin Fire Company said in a post on Facebook.

As crews began to extricate him, the driver pulled a gun from his side. Several emergency personnel jumped in to restrain the man and secure his weapon, and he continued to punch, kick and spit on them until state police arrived with restraints, the fire company said.

The driver and emergency personnel slid down the embankment, an a stokes basket and rope were used to bring the patient back up.

No emergency personnel were injured. State police said in a release Wednesday night that the driver of the vehicle was transported to York Hospital to receive treatment for injuries sustained in the crash.

State police are actively investigating the incident.

Lincoln Way West was shut down in both directions soon after the crash, and remained closed as of 5:30 p.m. The fire company said it is expected to stay closed for an extended period.

The road is closed from Warm Spring Road in Hamilton Township east to the Chambersburg borough line, located just east of the split at Sheetz on Monticello Court.
