The late-night crash severely damaged both vehicles.
A driver was seriously injured in a head-on crash Saturday night in Bourne, on Cape Cod, officials say.
A release from the Bourne Police Department said that at around 10:25 p.m., Bourne Police and Bourne Fire & Rescue responded to Sandwich Road in the area of Longboat Road for a report of a head-on car crash between two vehicles.
The release said that first responders extricated one entrapped driver on the roadway along the Cape Cod Canal.
Based on a preliminary investigation, the release said that a 2015 Nissan Rouge, operated by a 25-year-old man from Burlington, crossed the center line, striking a 2003 GMC Sierra head-on.
The driver of the Nissan sustained minor injuries, while the operator of the GMC had severe injuries, the release said. First responders took both drivers to off-Cape medical facilities.
The Bourne Police Department, with assistance from the Cape Cod Regional Law Enforcement Council Accident Reconstruction Team, is investigating the cause of the crash.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation helped close the roadway while the investigation was underway, and debris was removed. The roadway reopened at around 3 a.m. on Sunday.
