Pickup Truck Rollover Accident in New Bedford

An early morning pickup truck rollover accident that happened in New Bedford, Massachusetts today sent one pickup flying onto its side. Luckily, both drivers escaped serious injuries.

According to a news article in the Boston Examiner, the accident occurred between two equally-sized pickup trucks at the intersection of Nash Road and Church Street.


One of them, a pickup truck towing a small wooden utility trailer, was attempting to make a wide right turn on a red light at the intersection, while the other (the one that rolled over on its side) was traveling straight ahead through a green light on Church Street.

As the right turn turned out to be too wide the two pickup trucks collided, pushing one of them onto its side. The driver of the rolled over truck is an employee of M-V Electrical Contractors of New Bedford.

Both drivers suffered little to no injuries in the collision and refused medical care by the emergency medical services on the scene.

New Bedford Police are currently investigating the crash. We’ll post details about the crash as soon as they become available.
