2 Cars Crash In Brookline During Snow Storm

BROOKLINE, MA — At least two cars crashed in the same spot in Brookline during snowy weather this week, prompting a warning to other drivers from Brookline police.

Police shared photos of the crashes just after 9:30 a.m. on Monday. Cars crashed in the same location on Clinton Road in town within minutes of eachother, according to police. Photos from the scene showed both cars crashed into a tree near the road.

Police said no one was injured in either incident.

Town Department of Public Works personnel were on scene quickly to sand and salt the area, according to police.

Police asked drivers to exercise care on Monday, warning of “dangerous driving conditions” throughout town.

Snow accumulation wasn’t major. But snow totals during a lengthy period of snow showers on Sunday and Monday still beat initial predictions from the National Weather Service’s Boston office, which expanded a winter weather advisory on Monday morning to cover much of southern New Hampshire, the North Shore and Greater Boston after it initially only covered Cape Cod and part of the South Shore.

Scattered locations around Massachusetts saw upward of three inches of snow, with 3.7 inches measured on Monday morning at one location in Falmouth, according to the National Weather Service. Logan Airport picked up 3.4 inches, while Chelsea saw three inches.

Snow totals were lower a few miles to the east, with one inch in Medford, 1.2 inches in Melrose and 1.5 inches in Lexington.

ALERT: Please exercise care, dangerous driving conditions throughout the town. Luckily nobody injured in this accident on Clinton Rd. where 2 seperate cars crashed in the same location within minutes of each other. DPW quickly on scene to sand/salt. pic.twitter.com/42skfbxEo5
