Truck Driver Killed In Mass Pike Crash

BOSTON — Police say a fatal crash involving a tractor trailer on I-90 Monday afternoon is still under investigation. The Mass Pike near Allston/Brighton is still experiencing serious delays.

Today at approximately 1:30 p.m. several people called 911 to report the tractor trailer had crashed into the median on I-90 westbound just before Exit 20 in Boston. The crash caused multiple lanes in both directions to close temporarily and serious delays on the Pike in both directions.

As soon as troopers got there, they determined the driver of the truck had died in the crash. No other vehicles were involved, according to police.

Images show a tractor trailer with the word "one" on its side across three lanes of traffic in one direction and blocking at least one lane headed the other direction until about 4:30 p.m.

Tammy and Michael Brooks were headed into Dana Farber hospital in Boston when they were stuck in traffic and filmed some of the aftermath. At least one ambulance was on scene and several firefighters were on the scene.

"It was a horrible crash," said Michael Brooks, who noted traffic was at a standstill.

Still no word on what may have caused the crash. Police say they're still investigating. MassDOT told Patch cameras in that area do not record, so there is no public surveillance of that stretch of the highway.
