Tractor-Trailer Overturns On Ramp From I-495 To Mass. Pike
HOPKINTON (CBS) --- An overturned tractor-trailer shut down the ramp from Interstate 495 southbound to the Massachusetts Turnpike Thursday afternoon.
Check: Traffic
State Police say no other vehicles were involved in the rollover, which happened just before the entrance to the tolls around 1 p.m.
A man and woman, both 65 years old, were in the truck.
Both were taken to UMass Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.
The truck was carrying glass containers, police said.
State Police say speed does appear to be a factor in the crash.
State Police tweeted that the clean up will take an "extended time" and drivers should avoid the area if possible.
Police later said in a press release, it would likely take several hours before the ramp re-opens.
I-495 southbound is open and traffic is moving freely but there are some delays on the Mass. Pike and I-495 northbound as cleanup continues.
