Both sides of Route 128 were shut down briefly in Needham Saturday after power lines fell down across the highway.

It happened around 3 p.m. near Great Plain Avenue.

State Police told WBZ no one was hurt.

Two cars hit the wires, but were not damaged.

Traffic was detoured onto Highland Avenue for about half-an-hour until the lines were removed.

It's not clear what caused the lines to come down, but strong winds caused scattered power outages around New England Saturday.
