Traffic Safety Section - Serious Injury Crash/Saint Margarets
On June 17th 2018 at approximately 7:46 a.m. officers responded to a injured subject call on Pleasant Plains Road near Weems Farm Road in St Margarets. On arrival, officers determined that it was in fact a motor vehicle crash involving a trash truck owned by MGB Leasing contracted for residential trash pickup.
The truck was southbound on Pleasant Plains Road with two workers riding on the rear platforms performing trash pickups. The driver attempted to give northbound traffic more room by moving to the right edge of his lane when his right side rear tires slipped off the roadway. The truck then glanced off a utility pole which struck the right rear passenger, knocking him off the truck.
Passenger #1 was taken to an area trauma center with critical life- threatening injuries. Passenger #2 was taken to an area trauma center with minor injuries. The driver was not injured.
