A Plymouth woman was killed by a falling tree while she sat on her porch Monday afternoon. It happened as storms bringing high winds and flooding downpours rolled through Massachusetts.

First responders were called to a home on Sullivan Avenue at about 1:10 p.m. for a report that a woman was trapped underneath a tree that had fallen on a back porch.

"The preliminary investigation indicates that the victim was sitting outside on her porch when a large gust of wind caused the tree to snap and collapse onto the home and the victim," the Plymouth police and fire departments said in a statement.
