A MULTI-VEHICLE CRASH AT A MASSACHUSETTS TURNPIKE TOLLBOOTH sent one man to the hospital after he miraculously escaped serious injury. Three tractor-trailers collided, crushing the man’s car between two of them, and two truck trailers overturned with one of them spilling a load of fresh beef carcasses across the roadway around 2:30 am this morning.
The incident started when one of the trucks rear-ended another one as it was passing through the EasyPass lane the toll plaza. The police are saying that the first truck struck the toll booth before the wreck, but the driver says he was rear-ended into the booth.
WCVB-TV Ch. 5 Boston has some video footage from the crash scene:
Three of the eleven traffic lanes at the toll plaza are blocked while efforts are underway to clear the wreckage. In order to lessen the effect on the morning rush-hour, the turnpike authorities are opening all lanes and waiving the toll charges to keep the traffic flowing as well as they can.
