Airlift Called For Woman Pinned by Tree

Holliston Police Officers and Firefighters have responded to a report of an elderly woman being injured on Turner Road.

According to scanner reports the woman is pinned underneath a large tree. It is also believed that the woman has suffered serious injuries.

According to Fire Chief Michael Cassidy, the woman appeared to have been attempting to cut the tree with an axe when it fell. A neighbor overheard the woman calling for help while walking home from the bus stop.

"The Fire Department initially dispatched the Rescue and Engine 1 to the scene, however crews were able to free her from underneath the tree, which was approximately ten inches in diameter, without the use of any additional tools or equipment," a release from the department said.

The Holliston Fire Department has reportedly called for a Life Flight helicopter to transport the woman to a major hospital.
