“The driver of the vehicle, an adult male, was heavily entrapped and had to be freed by firefighters using hydraulic extrication tools,” Foley said. “The effort took about 20 minutes.”

The passenger, also an adult male, was treated at the scene by firefighters. Foley said both men sustained serious injuries.

The driver was taken by ambulance to a landing zone at Elmer E. Raymond Jr. Memorial Park on Long Pond Road, where Boston MedFlight then flew him to a Rhode Island trauma center.

The passenger was transported by ambulance to South Shore Hospital in Weymouth.

Foley did not provide a cause for the crash, but said it remains under investigation by Massachusetts State Police.
