ATTLEBORO, MASS. (WHDH) - A car went off the road, jumped a curb, and nearly crashed into a business in Attleboro Thursday afternoon, sending two men to the hospital, according to officials.
The Attleboro Fire Department responded to a report of a crash outside a Dunkin at 134 Pleasant Street around 2:09 p.m.
When crews arrived, they found a car that was damaged.
“So it was a full response and once we got there, we saw police were on scene and the vehicle was actually on the street over and it appeared they went went through some bushes and nothing actually hit the building,” said Attleboro Fire Lt. Corey Blais. “We don’t know the exact cause. Police are investigating it but it does seem to be a medical emergency.”
Fire officials said there were two people inside the vehicle, a man in his 70s who was driving, and a man in his 20s in the passenger seat. The passenger was able to exit the vehicle on his own, and firefighters assisted the driver out of the vehicle.
Both men were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Blais said he’s never seen a crash quite like this one.
“It could have been very different knowing that’s a busy coffee shop and it happened to be 2:00 p.m. or so, so not as busy, but if this was a different time of day, especially in the morning, there’s always cars and pedestrians there so it could have been an entirely different scene,” said Blais.
