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.
