The truck has front-end damage; the tree is gone. 
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — An errant pickup truck took out one of the trees on Main Street on Thursday night. 
 
Police Lt. Anthony Beverly said dispatch was notified about 10 minutes to midnight that a vehicle was in the median. The incident is still under investigation but the drive is expected to be summonsed on criminal charges. 
 
The driver was apparently headed west on Main Street when they veered into the median in front of the Berkshire Plaza. 
 
The driver was the only occupant and was taken to the hospital. The truck incurred significant front-end damage on the driver's side and was towed. The Department of Public Works was notified and a crew sent to cut down the ornamental tree, most of which was in the road. The crash also took out the black bollards on either side of the tree and they were removed from the site.
