Accident On Highway 1 Musquash

The Musquash Fire Department had to use hydraulic rescue tools to remove one person from an SUV following a three vehicle collision on Highway One. The accident occurred around 8:08 am yesterday when three east bound vehicles collided around the Ducks Unlimited Marsh in Musquash.
On arrival firefighters found one person still in her vehicle which had ended up in the median. Firefighters removed the roof of the SUV to extricate the victim.

The east bound lanes were blocked for a short time as firefighters worked at the scene. Only one person was transported by ambulance to hospital with what appeared to be minor injuries.

According to Fire Chief Wayne Pollock, it is suspected that a combination of glare from the rising sun and road conditions may have contributed to the accident.
