Jackknifed Tractor-Trailer Shuts Down Mass Pike Westbound
ALLSTON (CBS) -- A jackknifed tractor-trailer at the Allston Brighton ramp temporarily closed all travel lanes on the westbound side of the Mass Pike midday Tuesday. The crash occurred as torrential downpours hit the area.
All lanes are now open.
Mass. State Police initially took to detouring traffic off the westbound side off the Mass Pike by directing drivers to Exit 20.
