1 Dead, 1 Injured In Separate Snowplow Incidents

WEYMOUTH (CBS/AP) -- One woman was killed and another injured in separate incidents involving snowplows on Monday, officials said.

In Weymouth, authorities said a woman in her 50s was run over and killed by a snowplow at a condo complex during Monday's snowstorm. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

The plow is owned by a contractor working for condo management.

The driver remained at the scene, and the death remains under investigation by the police and district attorney's office.

In Cohasset, a 67-year-old Norwell woman was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries after a plow backed over her near 223 Chief Justice Cushing Highway at about 9 a.m. She was dragged 10 feet by the plow, Cohasset police said.

The driver of the 2011 Ford Dump Truck told police that he didn't see the woman because of the weather, according to police.
