According to the Cohasset Police Department, officers and paramedics were assisting a person injured in a snowblower incident when worsening blizzard conditions prevented the ambulance from reaching safer roadway access. The vehicle later became stuck in deep snow.
Photos shared by the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office show officers and emergency personnel transporting the patient on foot through near whiteout conditions to reach medical transport. The ambulance was later shoveled out, officials said.
Authorities did not release details about the extent of the injuries but confirmed the patient was transported for medical treatment.
