SIDNEY, Maine (AP) A woman was critically injured when a tree knocked down by powerful gusts fell on the vehicle, driving a tree limb through the windshield and dashboard and impaling her, officials said.
Theresa Roy, 79, was critically injured Tuesday in Sidney as gusts topping 70 mph whipped across the region, according to Lt. Chris Read of Kennebec County Sheriff’s Department.
Sidney Fire and Rescue used the jaws of life to reach her and then cut the tree limb with a hand saw so she could be transported to the hospital, said Sidney Fire Chief Richard Jandreau.
