crash_reports: 2000000602

Operator #1 was driving northbound on Lexington St behind a white box truck (vehicle #2) when she observed the truck strike a large branch from a city tree in front of 450 Lexington St. The branch fell onto the hood of vehicle #1, and the truck continued north without stopping. I observed slight damage to the front of vehicle #1 however a tow was not needed. Medics responded and documented a patient refusal from operator #1. This incident was called in by detail Officer B. Keefe, who was working a National Grid detail at this location (one lane was blocked off by cones but there was still a full travel lane being utilized for northbound traffic). A plate could not be obtained by anybody on scene due to the crash occurring so quickly. It is believed that there was black lettering on the truck, however what it said is unknown. Forestry was notified to remove the branch from the roadway.
