COHASSET, MASS. (WHDH) - The police chief in Cohasset says the department “dodged a tragedy” when a large tree fell onto a police cruiser on Saturday.
An officer who responded to a report of low-hanging wires at the intersection of South Main Street and River Road was uninjured when a large tree snapped and fell onto his 2018 Ford Police Interceptor, according to a post on the department’s Facebook page.
In a statement, Cohasset Police Chief William Quigley said, “We dodged a tragedy today, and I’m so thankful that the officer is OK. This incident is an excellent example of why we always encourage people to stay indoors during these storm events.”
