No drivin' in Dorchester Bay
By adamg on Mon, 01/20/2014 - 10:22am
State Police and BFD raced up and down 93 to the Dorchester Yacht Club around 10:10 a.m. when a dump truck swerved off I-93 northbound, careened down an embankment and wound up in the water by the yacht club.
They got the driver out; are now figuring out how to get the truck out. Booms were brought in to contain fuel leaking from the truck's tanks.

Take it out as soon as
Take it out as soon as possible to minimize the amount of fuel that leaks into the water
Which is what they did
Only it took a few hours, and in the meantime, 93 was down to one lane northbound and so, of course, traffic was a mess.

Traffic a bit lighter? I was stuck in traffic from the Braintree merge to the accident site for about three hours.
GPS

Broken suspension could be to blame
A frozen wheel bearing or brake, broken ball joint or tie rod could have also put the truck off the road.
Maybe he didn't see the water there
It isn't wearing day-glow plankton for high visibility. Oh, and the state reduced lane miles by not building extra lanes over the bay, amirite?
Because it isn't ever the fault of simple bad driving or distraction.
The Gremies
I wonder how many people got that reference.
