A Williamsburg police officer responded to the report of a tree down on power lines in Clermont County. When he arrived, he saw the tree actually crushed the front of a house. Neighbors told the officer a woman was still trapped inside. The Williamsburg officer shared that EMS crews were so busy in other parts of town that he went in the back of the home to safely rescue that woman. She was okay and is staying with family.
