BOSTON (WHDH) - A woman walking near the Boston Common Thursday was injured after being struck by falling ice.

Authorities said the woman was walking on Tremont Street in front of the Loews Theater when she was hit by the ice. Police believe the ice came off the building during the afternoon thaw.

The woman was taken to the hospital for treatment. A Boston police officer said she was not seriously injured.

People who work in the area said falling ice is a problem, especially as the sun beats down on snow-covered roofs.
