LAKEVILLE — One driver has been sent to St. Luke’s Hospital for treatment after a car accident at the intersection of Bedford Street and Taunton Street.

The accident occurred at 8:27 a.m on Thursday, Dec. 7 according to a Lakeville Fire Department Facebook post.

According to Lakeville Fire Chief Michael O’Brien, the driver’s injuries “did not appear to be life threatening.”

Firefighters monitored the injured driver’s vital signs after they were removed from the vehicle. 

At the time of the crash, all on-duty Lakeville Firefighters were committed to a medical emergency on Lakeside Avenue according to the post. O’Brien and Deputy Pam Garant responded to the crash in the second ambulance. 

“A recall was transmitted bringing in staffing that enabled Engine 1 to respond to the scene,” wrote the department in the post. “Our chief officers were then relieved of EMS duties by additional incoming call-back firefighters.”

The driver of a second vehicle reported that he was not injured and did not need medical assistance.
