Jaws of Life Used to Free Woman from Hosmer St. Crash

The and departments responded to a crash near the corner of Hosmer and Stevens streets Monday morning, that has left a young woman in serious condition in an area hospital.

The helicopter landed in the nearby Memorial Beach parking lot, said Flynn.

Flynn said that the Fire Department left the scene a short time after the victim was freed and transported, but the Massachusetts State Police accident reconstruction unit had arrived to help determine the cause of the crash. 

The two occupants of the dump truck were uninjured. Flynn said he could not identify the victim.
