WEST YARMOUTH – First responders were bracing themselves for a fatality when they first rolled up on the scene… but to their amazement, the driver was able to extricate himself from the twisted wreckage and walk to a nearby residence. The driver then reportedly was quickly driven back to the scene by his mother, where rescue workers quickly secured him on a stretcher and transported him to CCH. According to sources at the scene, the driver was stable prior to being transported…

At about 11:50pm last evening, police and firefighters rushed to the area of 79 Wendward Way where a Dodge pickup truck slammed into a tree at a high rate of speed.

According to one resident, he was awakened from a sound sleep by the alarming loud crash and told his child to keep the lights out and stay away from the windows because he didn’t know if was safe to look outside… When he finally discerned what had happened, he couldn’t believe anyone could possibly survive such a crash.

Witnesses, police, and firefighters were expecting the worst based on the calls to 911 and their initial impressions of the scene. To their relief and astonishment, the driver was still conscious when they placed him onto a stretcher.

Medics reported stable vital signs when they alerted the ER of the incoming trauma patient. Other sources at the scene were cautiously optimistic the patient would survive… but due to the serious impact, it was impossible to be sure of the patient’s internal condition…

HN contacted Yarmouth FD a couple hours after the crash, but they didn’t have any more information on the driver’s condition…

HN asks everyone to keep the patient in their prayers… and will provide updates when they become available…

The following video documents an unbelievable crash scene… one which even amazed seasoned first responders…
