Rest in peace, Michael Jackson
A week ago today, the world lost one of its most precious treasures. Michael Jackson, the greatest entertainer to ever walk the earth, died tragically from cardiac arrest. While much of the media coverage has focused on the most salacious aspects of his life, Jackson has undoubtedly left a legacy that is bigger, broader and brighter than the words of his detractors.

Dirt truck rollover causes huge traffic mess on I-93S

QUINCY. A tractor trailer rolled over and spilled a large load of dirt on Interstate 93 in Quincy, shutting down the southbound lanes of the highway for several hours and creating a traffic mess.

The five-vehicle crash at about 7:45 a.m. yesterday left the truck on its side across the road with its load spilled over the lanes.

Traffic backed up for miles in both directions and some motorists got out of their stopped cars to watch emergency crews. By 10:45 a.m., all lanes had reopened.

State police say they plan to cite 41-year-old David Baxter of Boston for allegedly cutting off the truck in his Jeep from the left lane.
