FALMOUTH — A freak accident claimed the life of 73-year-old woman when a tree branch crashed through the window of a car she was driving during flash freeze conditions Friday night.
The woman, whom authorities did not identify, suffered life-threatening trauma and was taken by ambulance to Falmouth Hospital where she later died, authorities said.
State and local police investigated a fatal accident at the intersection of Ransom Road and Bounty Lane in Falmouth on Friday. A tree branch had fallen through the passenger window of a car and fatally injured the 73-year-old woman driver. When Falmouth Fire Rescue Department crews arrived at the intersection of Bounty Lane and Ransom Road at 7:43 p.m. a bystander was performing CPR on the injured woman, fire officials said.
The branch had crashed through the passenger side window, striking the driver, officials said. A passenger in the vehicle was uninjured.
After the woman was taken to the hospital, Falmouth Fire cleared the scene and turned it over to Falmouth Police, according to Deputy Fire Chief Scott Thrasher.
Police could provide no further details about the accident.
