Wellesley Police field dozens of storm-damaged tree, car & house calls

The Wellesley Police Department shared this list of a few dozen calls to the Emergency Communications Center on Monday, April 13 about trees and branches coming down during the storm. We rounded up some of the dramatic photos on Monday, and here are a couple more.

The police note that “there were many other tree branches that came down and were removed from the roadways by officers or called into the Park and Tree Department but were not logged by the Emergency Communications Center because the roadways were passable.”
