WILMINGTON, MASS. (WHDH) - Wild weather Friday afternoon wreaked havoc on parts of Massachusetts, including Wilmington, Lexington and Woburn.
Lexington police closed a roadway due to downed trees as the result of strong storms that blew through the region.
Police say Wood Street was closed in the area of 244, which is near MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory. Police say the roadway was impassable due to a downed tree, which took power lines down.
Officials say to expect delays and seek alternate routes. The roadway is expected to be closed for the next 6 hours.
A tree also crashed down on power lines on Burnap Street in Wilmington, forcing crews to jump into action. The mess created a canopy of leaves and lines across the road.
In Woburn, strong winds ripped the roof off a Cadillac dealership.
