ROCKPORT — The cause of a single-vehicle crash on Route 90 in Rockport that occurred just before the intersection with Mill Street is attributed to a medical emergency.
“There were no serious injuries,” said Rockport Police Sgt. Travis Ford.
The accident occurred just after 1:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 17, as Larry Reynolds, 64, was heading west on Route 90 in his 2002 Honda Accord.
According to Ford, Reynolds drifted over the centerline into the eastbound lane, struck the snow-packed guard rail, and then overcorrected his steering wheel back to the westbound lane, where his car went off the highway. The sedan landed in the snowy ditch and came to rest against a tree.
“He doesn’t remember what happened just before,” said Ford, attributing the crash to a medical cause.
Reynolds was traveling alone, and there were no other vehicles in the immediate vicinity.
Rockport firefighters, as well as an ambulance crew from North East Mobile Health Services, helped Reynolds from his car onto a stretcher, and transported him to Pen Bay Medical Center, in Rockport.
