Driver Avoids Injury In Brookline Rollover

BROOKLINE, MA — A driver managed to avoid injury after a rollover crash in Brookline on Thursday, police said.

Brookline Police shared word of the crash just before midnight, saying it had taken place earlier in the evening.

The crash happened on Heath Street, according to police. A photo from the scene showed the car resting upside down on its front hood and windshield.

Police said the driver was able to get themselves out of the car after the crash without injury.

While rain was light earlier Thursday evening, police still warned drivers to be careful over the coming hours as forecasted bad weather descends on the region.

The National Weather Service’s Boston office has forecast widespread high wind, with gusts potentially exceeding 50 miles-per-hour around Boston.

Forecasters have additionally predicted a sudden drop in temperature through Friday afternoon into the evening, potentially creating icy conditions after what is currently a rainy day across the region.

State emergency officials and utility providers have warned of potential power outages through the current storm.

While disruptions were somewhat light as of Friday morning, Eversource reported at least one active outage impacting a handful of customers in Brookline around Tappan Street between Brookline High School and John D. Runkle Elementary School just before 9 a.m.
