Driver pinned in car under a fallen tree

WILMINGTON, Mass. -- A lightning strike knocked a tree down onto a woman's car as she was trying to back out of her driveway.

One of her neighbors rushed over to try and help as the woman's husband called 9-1-1.

It took rescue crews 25 minutes to remove the woman from the vehicle.

The victim is expected to recover.
