Driver dies from injuries sustained in Plymouth County collision after vehicle crashes into home

HANSON — Hanson Police Chief Michael Casey and Fire Chief Robert O’Brien regret to report that the Hanson Police and Fire Departments responded to a fatal incident involving a vehicle crashing into a building on Monday evening.

Rescuers were dispatched to 481 High St., a single-family house, at 6:22 p.m.

Upon arrival, Hanson Police Officers and Firefighters located a Chevrolet pickup truck that had rolled over onto the driver’s side and crashed through a bay window in front of the home. 

The driver, who was the sole occupant of the vehicle, was unconscious and trapped inside the vehicle, and firefighters immediately began extrication efforts. 

After a lengthy extrication involving hydraulic rescue tools, the driver, a 57-year-old Hanson man, was removed from the vehicle and transported by ambulance to Brockton Hospital, where he later died.

The driver’s name is not being released at this time, pending notification of next-of-kin.

High Street is projected to remain closed well into the evening hours on Monday.

The crash is under investigation by the Hanson Police Department and State Police Detectives Assigned to the Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office, with assistance from the Massachusetts State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section.
