Woman, Baby Pulled from Rollover Crash on Post Road

NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI—A woman was transported to the hospital along with a young child after a rollover crash on Post Road in North Kingstown on Tuesday.

Witnesses said that a car being driven by two young men made a U-turn, causing a Jeep coming from the opposite direction to abruptly swerve and roll over.

A woman who asked not to be identified said she was at the scene shortly after the crash and watched as firefighters extricated the driver of the Jeep. A baby had been in the rear seat and "a bystander took the car seat out and held him before the ambulance came."

The two young men in the other car remained at the scene and appeared shaken up as they watched firefighters tend to the driver of the Jeep, the witness said. They seemed very concerned about the welfare of the victim.

"Once they got her out, she did walk over to her child but she seemed shook up before they made her lay down and take her by ambulance," the witness said.

North Kingstown police did not immediately return a message requesting details about the crash.

Members of the North Kingstown Fire Department said they encountered depleted resources on Tuesday after multiple incidents, including the Post Road crash. The department has two rescues and while they were busy, a crew from Exeter and two Warwick rescues were dispatched to cover North Kingstown.
