HANSON — Chief Michael Miksch reports that the Hanson Police Department responded to a motor vehicle crash where a woman was seriously injured Wednesday night.

At approximately 8:50 p.m., the Hanson Police and Fire Departments responded to the area of 58 Monponsett St. (Route 58) for a report of a car that struck a utility pole.

Newbury Fire Department Responds to Woman Injured by Wave at Plum Island Beach

NEWBURY — Chief Douglas Janvrin reports that the Newbury Fire Department responded to Plum Island today after a woman was injured by a wave.

The Newbury Fire Department was dispatched to the beach near the Fordham Way entrance on Plum Island at 1:08 p.m. Wednesday for a report that a woman had been injured by a wave. Upon arrival, first responders learned that a 67-year-old Lexington woman had been in the water when a wave knocked her over, injuring her knee.

The woman was conscious and alert, however, and the Newbury Fire and Police Departments used a small, all terrain vehicle to extricate her from the beach. She was then taken by ambulance to a local hospital, with non-life threatening injuries.

“We were able to respond quickly, extricate the victim from the beach and transport her to a nearby hospital for medical treatment,” Chief Janvrin said. “We encourage beach goers to exercise caution while swimming or walking along the water. The size and strength of waves can change quickly, and it’s important to remain aware of your surroundings.”

Littleton Police and Fire Departments Respond after Roofer Injured by Nail Gun

LITTLETON — Police Chief Matthew Pinard and Fire Chief Scott Wodzinski report that a roofer was injured Friday morning when he accidentally discharged a nail into his knee with a pneumatic nail gun.

At approximately 10:40 a.m. today, Littleton Police and Fire personnel responded to a single-family home on Trot Road for a report of an injured man.

Upon arrival, officers located a 60-year-old Woburn man who was injured on the roof of the home. The man was conscious and alert.

Firefighters used multiple ladders and rope to create a rigging system and were able to successfully lower the victim down from the 15-foot roof. The man was transported by ambulance to Lahey Hospital. His injury is not believed to be life-threatening.

Because the incident involved a workplace injury, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) was notified. Police have determined that the incident was accidental.
