CABOT – January 18, just after 3:30 a.m., Cabot Fire and Cabot Emergency Ambulance Service were toned to respond to an automated crash alert on US-2 near the Marshfield Dam.

While en route, a second call for response to an overturned vehicle on US-2 in Marshfield diverted our mutual aid partner Marshfield Fire to that scene.
At the Cabot scene, two occupants were assessed and treated by Cabot Ambulance and Cabot Fire provided scene lighting and traffic control, until VSP and a wrecker arrived.
Walden Fire responded as mutual aid but were turned around upon arrival as the scene was stabilized. On the return to station the Walden crew spotted another vehicle off the road (unoccupied) near Macks Mountain Road on US-2.
State road crews were actively plowing, sanding and salting during the emergency response, but even with treatment road conditions can be variable and challenging. This is especially true in exposed areas where wind may blow snow on the roadway or contribute to icing.
