Here’s some relatively crappy photos of the crash at the pump station in VFW, between Bridge and Aiken, in Lowell. An Audi sedan blasted through the fence and caused all sorts of damage. Vehicle ended up relatively close to a tank labeled β€œdiesel” and β€œflammable.”

Anyone missing their Yorkshire terrier? Missed the address, but a yorkie just strolled into a store in Lowell. No one knows who the dog belongs to and it doesn’t have a collar.

Sounds like a fallen tree has taken out multiple wires on Holyrood Ave in Lowell. National Grid has been summoned. Sounds like police are going to close access to the road at Hovey. NG power outage map showing nearly 300 customers without power.
