WILMINGTON, MA — A tractor-trailer accident on I-93 South in Wilmington has led to a traffic nightmare. The rollover crash at Exit 35 resulted in all southbound lanes being closed early Monday morning, according to a Mass DOT tweet.

At 7 a.m., one I-93 South lane reopened and heavy tows were on scene where the tractor-trailer crashed.
