NORTHAMPTON — A woman escaped injury Tuesday morning when her pickup truck went through a guardrail on southbound Interstate 91 and rolled down an embankment, stopping at a fence along Bridge Street beside the rotary.
Firefighters and police responded to a report of the crash at 6:36 a.m., Assistant Fire Chief Matthew Lemberg said. He said the driver “got lucky.”
“I don’t know exactly what led up to it, but the truck was going southbound on 91, left the roadway, entered the median, and went down that embankment,” Lemberg said. “It ended up at the fence on Route 9, right at the rotary.”
The crash partly closed Bridge Street, also known as Route 9, until shortly after 8 a.m., Lemberg said.
