Major car vs pole crash in Sandwich

SANDWICH - Two people were seriously injured when a Ford Ranger pickup slammed into a utility pole leaving the vehicle in a precarious state. The crash happened just after 11 p.m. Saturday evening in front of 100 Main Street (Route 130). The driver, 29-year-old Kevin McGee of Forestdale was quickly removed from the wreckage and rushed to South Shore Hospital trauma center in Weymouth. A passenger, 29-year-old Daniel Connolly of Sandwich, was discovered under McGee. He was heavily entrapped and firefighters had to use the Jaws of Life for an extended time to cut him free. Once extricated, Connolly was taken to the Henry T. Wing School and MedFlighted to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. A crash reconstruction team was called to investigate the cause of the crash. Although grainy, the photo shows the vehicle on its side against the pole. Route 130 was expected to remain closed in the area well into the morning while crews replaced the pole.

HARIWCH - Supplies headed to New York are loaded at Fire Department Headquarters for victims of Hurricane Sandy.

The firefighting group will be leaving from HFD at 6 a.m. Sunday with two truckloads of goods heading to  Breezy Point, Queens, N.Y., and the Rockaways area where more than 300 firefighters families live. During the September 11 terrorist attacks the neighborhood lost 59 firefighters. Traveling to New York will be Capt. LeBlanc, Lieutenant Craig Thornton,  Lieutenant Mike Mason,  Firefighter Scott Tyldesley, Dennis Firefighter Dan O'Connell and Madison LeBlanc, 16-year-old daughter of David. When she was in junior high school she did a 911 project and interviewed New York firefighter Ray Fiffer, a friend of her father. He will be meeting the group when they arrive in New York. Ray lost eleven fellow firefighters at his firehouse on the Upper East Side Engine 40 Ladder 35 on the day of the attacks.  Many people have brought lots of clothes and supplies to the Harwich Fire Department and as Fire Chief Norman Clarke said " if Sandy had veered 150 miles to the northeast, we'd be the ones looking for help."
