I-90 Traffic Slowed by Tractor-Trailer Crash in Westborough
According to the Westborough Fire Department, a Tractor-Trailer Crash in Westborough during Wednesday’s morning commute caused significant delays on I-90 East. The collision, involving two large tractor-trailers, occurred near the Mass Pike ramps connecting to I-495. Traffic in the area came to a standstill as emergency crews responded to the scene.
The Westborough Fire Department provided updates via Facebook, noting that at least one person sustained injuries from the accident. Details about the severity of the injuries or the exact time of the crash were not immediately available. However, the fire department posted an update just before 6:45 a.m., urging commuters to avoid the area.
Impact on Traffic
Morning commuters on I-90 faced significant delays as authorities worked to clear the scene. The tractor-trailers involved in the collision took multiple lanes, further complicating traffic flow. Vehicles were backed up for miles, and detours were implemented to ease the congestion, but many travelers still experienced extended delays as a result.
The crash also affected the ramps connecting the Massachusetts Turnpike (Mass Pike) to I-495, causing additional slowdowns for drivers trying to navigate around the incident. It’s expected that cleanup and investigation efforts will continue for several hours, with officials working diligently to reopen lanes as quickly and safely as possible.
