A 19-year-old Framingham man charged with first-degree murder in a fatal stabbing has an extensive criminal record, according to The MetroWest Daily News in Framingham.

Severe weather has been deemed the likely cause of an accident on Torrey Street in South Weymouth yesterday in which a tree fell on a car. Police said Amy Cristoferi was near her house when the tree crashed down on the rear passenger side of her car, crushing the roof shortly after noon. Paramedics were called because Cristoferi is pregnant, but she did not need to go to the hospital. Police kept the street closed for about three hours while crews cleaned up the debris.

The Coast Guard launched four rescue vessels shortly before noon yesterday after a boat overturned near Mattapoisett Harbor, but all four occupants were saved by passing boaters. Three people were saved by a boater who brought them to Mattapoisett Harbor, but the fourth occupant, Fitzroy Libert of Boston, was separated from the group and rescued by another boater. Unknown to the Coast Guard, the rescuer drove Libert to his home in Boston. The Coast Guard called off the search only after a call from Libert about 4:40 p.m. The Coast Guard stressed how important it is for parties in distress to call off rescue efforts as soon as they reach safety. There were no injuries.
