HANSON, MASS. (WHDH) - A woman was extricated from her vehicle and pulled to safety following a two-car crash that ripped down live power lines Tuesday night in Hanson, officials said.
Crews responding to a report of a multi-vehicle crash in the area of 1482 Main St. about 6:20 p.m. found poles knocked down on the roadway and wires covering both vehicles, according to Hanson police and fire.
There was one person in each vehicle, one of whom was able to get out before crews arrived, officials said.
