MORE UNDERRIDING INJURIES: 2 PINNED IN VEHICLE AFTER
CRASH WITH TRUCK ON ROUTE 9 IN FRAMINGHAM, MASSACHUSETTS
January 23, 2014
Framingham, Massachusetts
Another underriding incident. It is obvious from the photo above that the
SUV went under the truck because there was no barrier on the truck to limit or
prevent the underriding. It is time for
the feds to implement the underriding prevention standards that they have been
sitting on for many years. They will
save lives and minimize injuries.
Scanner reports had one of the two individuals unconscious
when emergency crews arrived at the Route 9 crash just before midnight.
