A pickup truck landed upside down underneath a crashed tractor trailer after both vehicles tumbled down a brushy embankment on Thursday.
The accident happened on March 27th at about 1:16 p.m. in Westport, Connecticut on Interstate 95 southbound near exit 19.
According to the Town of Westport Fire Department, a tractor trailer and a pickup truck both skidded down a brushy embankment off of I-95. The vehicles came to a stop with the pickup truck upside down and partially trapped beneath the tractor trailer.
The occupants of both vehicles were able to escape their wrecked trucks without assistance from first responders, but one injured person had to be brought up the embankment using a stokes basket and rope system due to the steep terrain.
The extent of the injuries sustained in the incident is not clear. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
