A cement mixer and an SUV were involved in a crash on Friday night in West Barnstable. The crash occurred on Route 6, just outside of Sandwich. The force of the collision caused the cement mixer to leave the roadway and run down an embankment off the shoulder. The SUV suffered heavy property damage in the collision and was undriveable.
Miraculously, despite the damage caused by the crash, only one person suffered injuries. The person was transported to a Cape Cod area hospital and treated for minor injuries which are not considered life threatening. Officials had to use a side road to remove the cement mixer from the embankment because it had fallen so far off the roadway. The accident remains under investigation and neither the driver of the SUV nor the cement truck have been identified. Authorities provided no other details regarding how the accident occurred or which driver could have potentially been at fault for causing the accident in the first place.
