Car Crashes into Tree on East Street, Victim Transported to Hospital

Emergency responders performed CPR and transported a Norwood woman to the hospital following a car accident on the morning of Friday, July 26th, when her 2018 Honda crossed into oncoming traffic on Westwood’s East Street and then struck a tree.

Around 9:00 a.m. that day, Westwood Police responded to the scene of the accident. A witness told police that the Honda crossed from the eastbound lane of East Street to the westbound lane. This caused the witness, who was driving westbound on East Street, to drive over the center line and off-road in order to avoid a head-on collision. The Honda then struck a tree in the front yard of a private home on the same road.

The witness assisted police in removing the Honda’s driver from her vehicle. The Norwood woman was incapacitated and bleeding.

Upon finding no pulse on the driver, Westwood Police performed CPR until Westwood Fire paramedics quickly arrived to take over, said Westwood Police Lieutenant Christopher Sheehy. The victim was transported to Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Boston.
