WESTFORD, MASS. (WHDH) - A 20-year-old worker was flown to the hospital after his legs became trapped between a tree and his truck door in Westford Monday morning.
Officers responding to the area of Chandler Road around 10 a.m. learned the worker’s truck slipped out of gear and started to roll.
He tried to jump into the moving vehicle, which then clipped a tree and left him stuck, according to Westford police. A neighbor helped him get free.
“He was screaming. He was in a lot of pain,” said Ravi Gami. “He basically asked me if I could get in the truck on the passenger side and reverse it so he could go free and his legs come out.”
The worker suffered serious injuries to his lower legs but remained alert and conscious. He was flown to the hospital for treatment.
His current condition has not been released.
