Truck driver hospitalized after MVA
The man injured truck rollover on Route 24 southbound Monday is listed in good condition at a Boston hospital.
State Police stopped traffic in both directions on the six-lane highway while the MedFlight Emergency medical helicopter landed on the state road to take 39-year-old William Oliver, of North Dartmouth, to Massachusetts General Hospital.
Oliver was driving a small cube truck owned by Sysco food distributor that struck the rear of a tractor trailer box about a half mile north of the Harrison Avenue exit.
The Sysco truck flipped over, crushing the cab and trapping Oliver behind the steering wheel.
State Police called Stoughton and Avon fire departments at approximately 12:15 p.m. Two lanes were closed with orange traffic cones and flashing arrows directed traffic to the left-hand side of the road for most of the afternoon.
" It took us almost 45 minutes to get him out using two sets of Hurst tools, " Capt. John LaCasse said. The Hurst tools are more commonly known as Jaws-of-Life, and the cut and pry apart metal. " We were still extracting him when the helicopter landed. "
People were out of their cars, standing in the median trying to see the scene ahead. Others waiting in the backup were visibly agitated sitting in their cars, while others appeared bored.
The driver of the tractor trailer, whose name was not available, was uninjured.
Two other accidents were reported in the backup, one of which included a car and a motorcycle.

House Fire : June 30, 2001. Sorry about the picture...
Fire was at 49 Brookdale Rd around 7:30 pm Saturday night. Heavy smokr
showing on arrival and the working fire was struck. Engine 1 went in through the
kitchen door while engine 3 went in through the front door. Both companies met
at the stairs for the second floor. Ladder 1 went to the roof to open up. Heavy
smoke and heat on floor 2. Heavy fire conditions in the attic and companies had
difficulty finding the attic access. (2 different attic spaces) Just as we found
part of the fire in one attic area the heat really started to build up. Command
told us we had heavy fire blowing out the "D" side and shortly there after
pulled us out of the building. As we walked out the front door heavy fire vented
out the entire roof. We set up ladder 1's ladder pipe and it wasn't even
darkening the fire down. While all this was going on the lightning was
incredible and we had heavy,heavy rains and hail. We finally got it knocked down
enough to go back in and finally put it out. We had engines 1,3,2, ladders 1,2,
A-1 and an Easton engine on scene. Sharon and Avon sent an engine for coverage
and Canton sent a ladder for coverage. From 4:00 pm to 12:00am we did 40 runs.
And we had a bunch of runs after midnight, it was somewhere around a 60 run day.
Thw fire went to a second alarm.
the picture sucks. I had to take a picture off of my TV of a video shot at the scene by Scott Mellyn
check out the lightning in the background
