Channel 7 reports on the 11 a.m. accident. Longtime activist (and one-time mayoral candidate) Mel King was in one of the cars, but was not hurt.

Interesting stop-motion video by a bicyclist on his way to work (he even stops for a red light).

Might be a bit discomforting, though, if you're the sort who needs Dramamine on boat trips.

Four-alarm fire on St. Mary's Street in Brookline, in a building occupied by BU students (so not a good winter for off-campus BU students).
