BOSTON — The Tobin Bridge has just one lane open southbound following a crash involving a tractor trailer and a box truck closed the bridge. Police said there were minor injuries and are routing traffic around the bridge.

The one lane was reopened around 3:30 p.m. Police said it could be another hour for the second lane to reopen.

The crash is where the former tolls are. It's unknown what caused the crash, but a photo taken by a passerby appears to show the crumbled front end of a box truck behind the tractor trailer.
