  BARNSTABLE, MASSACHUSETTS – [VIDEO NOTES] – A Hyannis News reader was sideswiped by a box truck yesterday morning, near the intersection of Route 132 and Bearses Way. She immediately called 911 and tried to follow the out-of-control box truck as it apparently took off toward the highway. (The following is cellphone video sent in by the woman who was struck.) Moments later, the box truck left the roadway and went head-on with a metal traffic light pole on Route 132 at the on-ramp to Route 6 westbound, across from the Burger King rest area. The box truck had apparently sideswiped several vehicles prior to slamming into the metal pole. The box truck was heavily damaged, and the driver remained behind the wheel, apparently dazed and confused. Some of the video (which will remain unpublished), shows the driver staring at witnesses who pulled over to check on him. Suddenly, the driver began to suffer some type of intense seizure as medically trained civilians entered the truck’s cab to provide first aid until first responders could arrive. The driver was assisted onto the ground, where he was surrounded by first responders rendering first aid. While being treated, he became “slightly combative,” according to radio transmissions. The 32-year-old male from Brocton was transported to Cape Cod Hospital under a trauma alert. The patient was still “combative” at the time of being transported. Police followed the ambulance to CCH. The patient’s current condition was unknown at the time of this report. Four others – occupants of vehicles that had been struck – were evaluated on scene but not transported. The 6-wheel commercial box truck was heavily damaged. The crash took down traffic signals at the busy intersection and crews were immediately notified regarding the need for repairs. The Barnstable Police Department is investigating the cause of the crash. The following HN Reader Video highlights the crash scene moments after it happened. The video also contains HN recordings of emergency radio transmissions. [HN VIDEO – PRESS PLAY] P.S. – Today’s Hytown Vignette is a brought to you by Stanley Clarke…  [CLICK IT/CRANK IT!
