Her three children – whose ages ranged from about 6 to 10 -- and stepfather, who were in the SUV with her, were all taken to Hasbro Children’s Hospital with minor injuries, according to Leo F. Kennedy, deputy chief of emergency medical services with the Cranston Fire Department. Emergency crews were called to the crash around 7:50 a.m. after a pickup truck pulling a boat on a trailer either touched or cut off the SUV, Kennedy said. That maneuver forced the SUV up onto the guardrail, where it rolled over. The trailer detached from the truck and was left behind in the roadway, Kennedy said. The boat dislodged from the trailer, he said. The state police are investigating the crash, Kennedy said. -- projo.com staff writer Kate Bramson A father and his adult son were traveling in the truck. The father was taken to Kent Hospital in Warwick, with what appeared to be minor injuries, and his son refused treatment at the scene, Kennedy said. Everyone but the woman thrown from the SUV appeared to be wearing seatbelts, Kennedy said. She was conscious when rescue crews arrived and was taken to the hospital with lacerations and a possibly fractured arm, he said. “I think she’s very lucky,” Kennedy said. The crash caused the road to be closed for about 40 minutes between Pontiac Avenue and Route 95. Posted by Kate Bramson CommentsAnonymous | August 2, 2007 3:01 PM link Post a commentPlease be civil.

I agree... she was very lucky. I was traveling route 37 shortly after the accident occurred and all I can say is god was with her on this morning and blessed her and entire family.
Nevertheless, I feel that some ri drivers should take defensive driving classes and use caution on the roadways.
