RAYNHAM — Fire Chief Bryan LaCivita reports that the Raynham Fire Department responded late Sunday morning to the scene of a single-vehicle rollover crash on Route 24.
On Sunday, April 13, at approximately 11:43 a.m., Raynham dispatchers received multiple 911 calls reporting a crash just north of Route 44 on Route 24 northbound.
Upon arrival, firefighters found a midsize SUV with heavy damage in a wooded area next to the highway.
The vehicle appears to have rolled over a few times, and the engine compartment caught on fire.
Bystanders who pulled over after the crash removed the driver from the vehicle. There were no other occupants inside the vehicle.
Raynham firefighters quickly extinguished the fire and began providing medical treatment to the patient.
The vehicle’s operator was then transported by ambulance to Good Samaritan Medical Center in Brockton in stable condition.
The crash remains under investigation by Massachusetts State Police.
“I would like to commend the good Samaritans who acted without hesitation and removed the victim from danger before our crews arrived,” Chief LaCivita said. “Their actions certainly made a difference and may very well have saved the driver’s life.”
