WESTWOOD, Mass. (AP) - A driver has been rescued from a pickup truck that crashed into an icy pond in a Boston suburb.

Authorities responded to Buckmaster Pond in Westwood just after 5 p.m. Monday. Officials say the driver was taken to a hospital to be treated for non-life threatening injuries.

The name of the driver, who was the only person in the truck, has not been released.



Police say the truck struck a utility pole, snapped the pole in half, crashed through a wooden barrier and ended up partially submerged in the pond.

Police say the cause of the accident is under investigation.
