A Lisbon Falls man was removed from a wreckage by firefighters after crashing his pickup at the bottom of a steep embankment Friday along the Interstate 295 offramp in Brunswick.

The crash was reported at about 10:25 a.m. Brunswick firefighters had a difficult time accessing the driver, Mason Smith, 19, of Lisbon Falls, who was trapped in the 2003 Ford 350 pickup truck. Firefighters waded through water and used extrication tools to free Smith, who didn’t appear to have any serious injuries but was transported to Maine Medical Center as a precaution.

Several firefighters helped carry Smith up the wet, muddy embankment to a stretcher once freeing him from the totaled, twisted truck.

Maine State Police Trooper Marvin Hinkley said Smith, the sole occupant of the truck, was transported for minor cuts and bruises. A hospital spokeswoman said Friday afternoon that Smith was no longer listed as a patient.

Hinkley said no one witnessed the crash, “so there’s no indication there was anything unusual about his operation and I suspect just from looking at (the truck) that the bald rear tires are what contributed to this.”

Smith was wearing his seatbelt, police say.

The driver of the responding wrecker truck reportedly fell off the truck and was transported to Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick. Brunswick Deputy Fire Chief Don Koslosky said a second patient was transported to Mid Coast Hospital with minor injuries.
