BOSTON — A driver is seriously hurt after their truck crashed into the side of a building in East Boston.
According to police, around 11:31 p.m., officers responded to a crash at 1 Emmons Street.
Authorities say the truck lost control and became wedged between a light pole and the building.
Upon arrival, crews worked to extricate the driver, a 22-year-old male who was pinned inside.
“They tied a cable to the truck to pull it away from the building, and that made extrication a lot easier,” said Martin McCormack, Deputy Chief of Boston Fire.
The driver was hospitalized and is in serious condition.
Four people were inside the building at the time of the crash, and they were uninjured.
A building inspector will determine if it is safe to go inside today.
The crash is under investigation.
