On June 12, a 47-year-old woman from Ludlow was taken by ambulance to the hospital after an accident. The accident occurred on the Massachusetts Turnpike after the woman’s car drove under the back end of a tractor-trailer and became trapped before crashing.
The accident occurred around 6 in the morning and involved a 2012 Chrysler Sedan and a tractor-trailer. Firefighters were called to help with the extraction.
Massachusetts State Police responded to the accident and discovered that the woman had sustained serious injuries. Initially, the severity of her injuries necessitated the calling of a helicopter ambulance to transport her to a local hospital, but initial estimates placed the helicopter too far away to be of assistance in this accident. Instead, the woman was transported by ambulance to Baystate Medical Center to receive treatment for her injuries.
