Injuries that are received in a car accident can change the victim’s life indefinitely, both physically and mentally. An example may be found in a recent car accident in which one man sustained injuries.

The accident took place in early January on Route 24 in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Upon early investigation, police believe that the two cars involved were travelling in the same lane and direction of travel when the collision took place. The male driver of a pickup truck sustained injuries, while the female driver of the other vehicle, a sedan, did not report being injured in the incident. Emergency personnel arrived at the scene soon after the collision occurred and rushed the injured man to the hospital for evaluation and treatment.

According to a police sergeant, the man’s injuries may have been serious in nature. However, his current condition is not known at this time. The accident closed the right lane of Route 24 north for almost half an hour, and remains under investigation by Massachusetts police.
