The truck then further slid and slammed into a tree, which caused extensive damage to his truck.[2]
Firefighters deployed to the scene pulled the Kenyan from the wreckage and tried to administer first aid to no success, as he had sustained serious injuries from the crash.
The report further confirmed that the Kenyan was the only occupant in the truck.
Officials from the area have stated that the heavy storm experienced in the area might have contributed to the incident.
Bridgewater Police detectives and the Taunton Police Department Accident Reconstruction Team have since launched an investigation to determine the cause of the accident.
