A pickup truck narrowly missed an unplanned visit to an Onset beach when it struck a tree, preventing it from crashing further down an embankment.

The accident occurred at 1:15 p.m. during Friday’s storm when the truck, which had a plow attached, skidded off Onset Avenue.

An Onset Fire Department official reported that the truck’s driver escaped injury. Firefighters used the department’s 5-ton military truck to tow the undamaged vehicle from the embankment.

Fire officials said the storm resulted in a few calls for service, but no major accidents were reported.
