A deadly turn of events unfolded on Route 6 eastbound in Bourne on Friday, leading to the closure of the Sagamore Bridge, a critical artery to Cape Cod. According to NBC Boston, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation confirmed the crash and subsequent road closure, as traffic was redirected from the scene of the calamity.

The Massachusetts State Police, while not immediately delving into the specifics of the incident, did confirm its fatal nature. Even as the night deepened into the midnight embrace, the state police finally announced the reopening of all lanes, facilitating a return to the bustle and breath of the Cape's usual traffic rhythms.

Meanwhile, reports also emerged of a second fatal accident occurring on Route 24 north of Taunton the same evening, amplifying the day's somberness for many traveling in the state. Despite the tragedies, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation managed to reestablish normal traffic flow by midnight, according to a statement captured by the Cape Cod Times.

Plymouth and Brockton bus service, which frequently ferries passengers to and from Boston Logan International Airport, informed the public at 12:09 a.m. that buses were back en route to Hyannis. Sadly caught in the disruptive web of the evening's events, they had to cancel all remaining trips for the night. Though impeded by unfortunate circumstance, service was confidently expected to resume the following morning.
