On Tuesday morning, a significant automobile accident on Interstate 95 South in Needham, Massachusetts, resulted in extensive traffic delays on both the southbound and northbound lanes. The collision, which was first reported around 5 a.m., prompted the closure of the highway’s three left lanes, according to notifications from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
While the morning commute was heavily affected by the incident, there were no immediate reports concerning potential injuries sustained in the crash. It was not until approximately 9 a.m. that state troopers announced the clearance of the accident site on social media. The authorities are expected to provide more detailed information later in the day.
The incident also had knock-on effects elsewhere, potentially impacting the schedule of local events. Notably, the collision occurred amidst the high-profile murder trial of Karen Read, where a slight delay in the proceedings was observed. Despite the court session initially set to commence at 9 a.m., activities only began at around 9:30 a.m.
