Four Crashes Reported Across Australia, US

A Ford Ranger struck and snapped a power pole in Heathridge, leaving three homes without electricity; no one required hospital care, and power was restored by Tuesday afternoon. In Englishtown, a car crashed into the curbside pickup section of a McDonald’s, prompting an evacuation and daylong closure; no injuries were reported. Two people suffered non-life-threatening injuries when a car hit a tree on Belmont Avenue in Springfield early Sunday and were taken to a hospital. Separately, a two-vehicle rear-end crash on the eastbound Massachusetts Turnpike near the Connecticut River caused heavy vehicle damage, though injury information was not available.
