Part of Storrow Drive closed for hours after truck crashes, spills sprouts and oil
BOSTON - Part of Storrow Drive was shut down for nearly 9 hours Friday morning after a tractor-trailer crashed, tore off its roof and spilled boxed sprouts and oil all over the road.
The truck hit the B.U. bridge on the eastbound side of the highway around 2 a.m. and rolled over. Massachusetts State Police said the driver, a 67-year-old man from Mattapoisett, was walking around when they arrived and he didn't appear hurt.
There's no word yet on what caused the crash.
The Department of Environmental Protection was called in to help with the cleanup because of the oil that spilled from the truck.
The road re-opened around 11 a.m.
