Today at 808am I was riding my wheelchair up 28 on sidewalk goingbtoward Reading on a hill right before the gas station garage on reading and north reading border. The sanitation truck had stopped to empty residents barrels when he just threw it on ty o sidewalk blocking my way. I tried to move it with my hands to no avail so I tried to push it with my feet. Unfortunately my foot got caught between foot stand if wheelchair and the brown barrel which was stuck because of a the stone wall behind it crushing my foot. I tried calling out to the man on side of truck. He looked and kept going. They turned onto mill st. I tried calling sanitation dept yet Noone picked up. I've since called my attorney. And this morning needing to go to urgent care. They've been throwing these barbells everything they do s run. It was their negligence that caused whatever pain I now have in my foot. And it getting hurt in first place. I'm tired of city and town workers who care less about people. There better b a resolution coming or I will file a civil lawsuit against town of north reading
