A man was taken by Mercy Flight to ECMC following a serious-injury accident this afternoon on Angling Road in Pembroke.
A small car and a truck carrying black-top material for road paving collided shortly after 4:30 p.m.
There was heavy debris all over the roadway and East Pembroke Fire Chief Don Newton said it was apparent as soon as he arrived on scene that this was a severe-injury accident.
He called for assistance from Corfu Fire Department, which provided heavy extrication at the scene.
"The dash of the small vehicle was literally laying in the chest of the patient," Newton said.
The male driver of the car was unconscious when Mercy medics arrived, but they were able to stabilize him and he regained consciousness before being taken to the hospital, Newton said.
The driver of the truck claimed no injuries.
Angling Road was closed at Route 33 and at West Avenue.
State Police are investigating the accident.
