A 17-year-old West Falmouth resident was pinned underneath his overturned pickup truck for more than an hour after an accident on Route 28 this morning, the Falmouth fire department said.
Around 8:55 a.m., Michael Williams flipped his silver pickup while traveling south on Route 28 in Falmouth, Fire Captain Michael White said.
"The passenger side, the roof was crushed," White said. "He was very fortunate, considering the extent of the damage to the vehicle."
Firefighters extracted Williams from the wreck after an hour and twenty minutes, White said. He was taken to Rhode Island Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Williams was wearing a seat belt and officers do not believe drugs or alcohol to be involved, White said. The cause appears to be mechanical failure, he said.
