State Police report they are looking for the driver of a dump truck that lost a mattress on Rte. 128 southbound in Burlington yesterday, causing a chain-reaction collision that ended with a woman dead.

State Police say the vehicle is a large dump truck with a white cab and possibly black netting or a tarp covering the bed - out of which flew the mattress.

The bed is reported to be dark in color, with wood along the sides

The truck was carrying additional mattresses and was occupied by two men.

Transit Police report they are investigating what led a 24-year-old from Roxbury to drive into a stopped Route 240 bus around 10:30 a.m. on North Main Street in Randolph.

The bus and the 2007 Infiniti were towed from the scene, according to police.

A concerned citizen complains about this example of sidewalk parking on Johnson Street in suburban West Roxbury:

Car consistently parked on sidewalk even blocking entrances to house. Isn't this a fire hazard? Also people can't walk on the sidewalk & have to cross or walk in street.

The city transportation sprang into action, rushing out to ticket that bad boy.

Modee spotted this space saver on Mill Street in Dorchester.

Cover a hydrant with an empty trash can and voila: Instant parking space. Sure, you have to hope your house doesn't catch on fire, but what are the odds of that?

The Boston Fire Department reports a family at 6 W. Main St. was forced to find another place to stay tonight after a driver managed to put a Nissan Murano into their townhouse around 6:30 p.m.

There were no injuries, but the building sustained structural damage from the collision - firefighters had to shore up the front wall before a tow truck could pull the vehicle out.

So move those cars off snow-emergency routes now, although towing may not actually start until 8 p.m.

No school for BPS kids tomorrow.
