NASHUA – Firefighters using several rescue tools worked for roughly an hour to extricate a severely injured man from his pickup truck early Saturday morning, the result of a crash that left more than half of the pickup underneath a parked box truck.

The man, whose identity wasn’t released as of Sunday evening, died of the injuries shortly after being transported to a local hospital.

Firefighters, AMR personnel and police responded around 6:30 a.m. Saturday to an industrial warehouse-type building at 164 Burke St., after receiving reports of a serious crash at a loading dock.

Nashua Fire Rescue Deputy Chief James Kirk said he and the crew of Engine 4 were first to arrive, and upon taking a look into the wreckage they saw one man, the driver, “heavily entrapped with serious injuries.”

Kirk called for an additional engine and ladder truck to the scene to assist in the “extended extrication” of the man.

The driver was eventually transported to a local hospital, where he died a short time later.

A medical helicopter was summoned to the scene, its crew working with AMR personnel to prepare medical equipment and a stretcher as firefighters worked the extrication.

The man ended up being transported by ground ambulance to Southern New Hampshire Medical Center, where he later died.

Kirk said Nashua police continue to investigate the incident.
