DEDHAM, MASS. (WHDH) - A woman in her 70s was hospitalized after a truck crashed into a house in Dedham Sunday and pinned her to the back wall, and one man was taken away from the scene in handcuffs, officials said.
The truck crashed into a house on Sprague Street around 8 p.m., officials said. The woman was sitting on the couch when the truck barreled through the house and pinned her to the back wall.
“We heard a big bang and I looked outside and I saw a pickup truck inside the house,” said neighbor Andrew Czazasty.
Firefighters had to remove the back wall in order to free the woman, officials said.
“We had no way to move the vehicle without injuring her further,” said Deputy Fire Chief James Neilan.
She was taken to the hospital, where she is expected to be OK.
After the woman was freed, firefighters pulled the truck out of the house and removed two men from the truck, officials said. One man was handcuffed and taken to a police cruiser.
Officials are investigating the crash.
Czazasty said the woman is well-liked in the area.
“The woman who lives there is a great woman who always helps out in the neighborhood,” Czazasty said.
