Shortly after 10am, a Quincy DPW Employee was knocked out of the bucket truck he was using to change a street light when it was struck by a tractor trailer. The accident happened at the intersection of Washington St and Chubbock St. The employee was working on a street light at that intersection when the bottom of the bucket was clipped by the top of the trailer as the truck passed the intersection. A woman passing by dressed in blue hospital scrubs jumped out of her car and tried to help before emergency workers could arrive on scene.
The worker was taken to Boston Medical Center by ambulance with police escort. Witnesses on the scene said that it didn't appear the worker was moving after the accident. Police did not comment any further on the worker's condition other than that the injuries were serious.
