There were no injuries in a tractor trailer truck rollover that blocked traffic on 495 North and backed it up on 290 East.
A truck driver was transported for minor injuries yesterday after an accident that shut down 495 North and tied up traffic in the surrounding area into rush hour. “If you are going to fast in a tractor trailer truck the rear end tends to fly right out,” said Marlborough Deputy Fire Chief Fred Flynn of the 290 East exit onto 495 North that occurred at 1:45 p.m. “He’s not the first one who has done it and he probably won’t be the last.” Numerous signs warn drivers of the sharp curve coming up ahead going into the exit, but there are at least one or two every year as trucks go through the curves too fast. There was an accident on the curved exit less than a year ago, said Flynn. The truck driver was transported to Umass Memorial in Worcester …

It is very similar to black ice out there in many spots - as I slid too - even though I was going very slow on a back road before my all wheel drive was actually able to stop.
