PEABODY, MASS. (WHDH) - A man was trapped and a young girl was hurt after an SUV rolled backwards and crashed between two trees in a parking area of a condominium complex in Peabody Monday, according to officials.
First responders were called to the Ledgewood Condominiums for a report that someone may have been pinned by a tree. They arrived to find a man with his arm stuck against the tree, and a young girl with minor injuries.
Video shows the SUV with its front doors bent open, wedged in between two trees.
Peabody Fire Deputy Chief Dan Dean says it’s not clear if the girl was in the car while it rolled, or if she had anything to do with it suddenly reversing into the wooded area.
He says the man trying to stop the SUV got lucky.
“It appears the car may have ran over him. He was trapped upon arrival,” said Peabody Fire Deputy Chief Dan Dean. “As far as we know his hand is perfectly fine, no broken bones.”
Deputy Chief Dean says the girl suffered a head bruise.
Both the man and the girl were taken to the hospital and are expected to be okay.
