The morning commute was disrupted on I-95 in Lynnfield, Massachusetts, after two tractor-trailers collided at exit 61, causing significant delays for northbound travelers. NBC Boston reported that the incident occurred earlier today and fortunately, the drivers of the tractor-trailers only sustained non-life-threatening injuries. However, authorities have had to close two right lanes as efforts to remove the wreckage and clear the spillage continue.

According to WHDH, the accident involved a bread truck that rolled over, scattering large amounts of debris across the road. The consequent lane closure is still causing significant traffic delays. with traffic on the right lane being blocked off, forcing vehicles to navigate around the obstruction and leading to long queues on the interstate.

Images shared on social media show the aftermath of the collision, with vehicles and bread scattered across the lanes. Emergency crews are at the scene, and motorists are being advised to avoid the area if possible or to prepare for additional travel time as the cleanup process progresses.

State Police have yet to release further details regarding the cause of the accident or the estimated time for the lanes to reopen. Commuters are encouraged to check traffic updates before embarking on the affected portion of I-95.
