A rollover crash involving three vehicles caused disruption and injuries at a well-traveled intersection in Brookline, Massachusetts this morning. According to WCVB, the incident occurred just before the stroke of 7 a.m. near the crossroads of Route 9 and Cypress Street. Injuries were reported, but details about the condition or the number of people hurt have not been made public at this time.
Traffic advisories were issued soon after the crash, urging motorists to find alternative routes to circumvent the area, which remained snarled long into the morning as authorities worked the scene. First responders converged on the area of Boylston and Cypress streets, which is mere blocks from the reported crash site by WHDH. A second automobile was also reported to have sustained significant damage, and was towed from the scene, with police being tight-lipped on whether there were any casualties.
The Brookline police have yet to release a full report on the crash, and the investigation continues as to what led up to the rollover and subsequent impacts. The condition of the roads, speed, and driver behavior are usually scrutinized in such investigations to determine the primary and contributing factors.
For updates on this developing story, the public has been advised to stay tuned to local news outlets. Both WCVB and WHDH are committed to providing more information as it becomes available from the Brookline Police Department, and other local authorities involved in the response and investigation.
