NEWTON, MASS. (WHDH) - Police are investigating a crash in Newton that left a car suspended on top of a tree on Chestnut Street.
Traffic was closed both directions as crews worked to remove the car and tree.
“I heard a big boom inside and I just assumed it was my mom dropping something… but she didn’t respond. A few minutes later she’s like, ‘there’s something crazy happening outside’. I came out — and there was a car on top of a tree,” said Lucy Karyanis, who lives nearby.
An investigation determined the large branch fell from the tree and the driver of the SUV, who was uninjured, was unable to stop in time. A passenger also escaped injury.
