Overturned truck slows morning commute in Charlestown
Tuesday, July 14, 2015
Chris Villani, Mark Garfinkel
An overturned tractor-trailer truck in Sullivan Square in Charlestown is expected to cause a traffic snarl in this morning's commute.
The accident occurred in front of the Charlestown fire station in Sullivan square just before dawn. First responders were able to right the truck just before7 a.m. and front-end loaders had been brought in to clean up a large amount of scrap metal spilled over the road.
People driving into Boston from Everett, Medford, and Somerville are all likely to be impacted, as are I-93 South and the Tobin Bridge as commuters attempt to find an alternate route around the accident.
It is unclear exactly what caused the accident or whether there were any injuries.
