A vehicle made an unsafe lane change. The driver swerved without signal lights, almost causing two other vehicles to collide, including a State Trooper out on construction detail. The driver continued to travel on the left hand only lane entrance to the Mass Pike, again, using no signal lights, while other drivers slammed their brakes and swerved to avoid collision.
