Waltham, MA - A serious accident was reported in Waltham on 2-12-21 around 5:15 am at 271 Waverley Oaks Road. Engine 3, Rescue 1 and Medic one were dispatched. While companies were responding, dispatch diverted Rescue 1 to I 95 northbound near Trapello Road for a rollover. Also dispatched were Engine 7 and Medic 2. A Market Basket trailer truck was traveling North on I 95, and being up high, noticed a car down an embankment. The car had flown over a snow bank and crashed into a tree. He was transported to Lahey Hospital Burlington with non-life-threatening injuries. Had it not been for the truck driver, he may not have been noticed until daylight.
