PORTSMOUTH, R.I. -- Firefighters worked for 10 minutes extricating a man from an overturned vehicle at East Main Road and Sprague Street, Deputy Chief Michael P. O'Brien said in a news release Monday evening.
The sole occupant was trapped in the vehicle, which was resting on its passenger side. The man was taken to Rhode Island Hospital with injuries that were apparently not life threatening.
Earlier Monday, Portsmouth firefighters extricated a woman after a head-on collision at West Main Road and Locust Avenue. She did not survive.
