Attleboro Fire Department responds to highway crash, vehicle fully engulfed in flames
The Attleboro Fire Department responded to both a highway crash and a vehicle fire late last night.
According to the department, at approximately 11:00 p.m., Attleboro Fire Department crews were dispatched to the area of Washington Street and Scott Road for a reported vehicle fire.
Upon arrival, firefighters found a pickup truck fully engulfed in flames. Crews quickly brought the fire under control and utilized firefighting foam to extinguish remaining fuel-fed fire resulting from spilled vehicle fluids.
The fire was extinguished without incident, and crews remained on scene until approximately 11:30 p.m. No injuries were reported.
At the same time, other Attleboro Fire Department units responded to a motor vehicle crash on the Interstate 295 North off-ramp to Interstate 95. Firefighters arrived to find a single vehicle that had struck a concrete barrier.
The lone occupant had self-extricated prior to the arrival of emergency personnel and was not injured.
The Massachusetts State Police are investigating the cause of the crash.
