Details of the rollover crash were sparse, but MassDOT did confirm an entrapment, hinting at the severity of the incident. The shut down of the lane has expectedly thrown a wrench in the traffic flow, with effects rippling out as the workday rush got into full swing. The exact circumstances leading up to the rollover have yet to be disclosed, as agencies worked to clear the scene and gather information.
Concerns about the occupant or occupants involved grew, though there was no immediate report on the extent of any injuries. The aftermath of the rollover was captured in a news piece by NBC Boston, with images depicting emergency services at the scene, engaged in response efforts.
The crash, which occurred just before the 9:30 a.m. earlier today, February 13, remains under investigation. Commuters were advised to seek alternate routes as cleanup and investigations proceeded. The reopening of the affected lane is contingent on the completion of these efforts and the safe removal of the overturned vehicle and any hazardous debris.
