Route 3A was closed for more than 90 minutes Thursday afternoon following a motor vehicle crash.
Police Chief William Quigley says that shortly after 2 p.m. they responded to just south of the Stop and Shop Plaza.
Crews arrived on scene to find a 2016 Lincoln pick-up truck with heavy damage that had been driven off the road and collided with a tree.
The driver of the truck, identified as a 51-year-old Acushnet man, was pinned inside the vehicle and unable to move.
Quigley says witnesses reported that the truck was travelling northbound at a normal speed when the driver suddenly veered into the southbound lane, clipping a 2014 Toyota Highlander on the southbound side of the road.
The truck then continued into the woods, striking a large tree.
Crews were able to extract the driver using hydraulic rescue tools, a process that took roughly 40 minutes.
The driver of the truck was hospitalized with what are described as serious but non-life-threatening injuries.
The driver of the Toyota, identified as a 50-year-old female from Scituate, was not injured.
However, both vehicles were totaled in the crash.
The incident remains under investigation and no charges have been filed at this time.
