Jeff Cutler reports on an encounter of the mini-van Masshole kind in a Big Dig tunnel.

Miss Kelly says she doesn't object to porn, she just doesn't want big-boobed robots pushing sex and vodka on I-93 billboards:

Keep it in your own home, not on billboards on interstate highways. Ewwww.

This morning's gravel-truck smasharoonie on I-93 gets Sean Roche to thinking:

When the trolleys crashed on the D-Line, there was much gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands about the MBTA's track record (pun intended). The Herald had a whole timeline of T incidents.

But, a truck crashes on the highway and there is rarely a recap of all the incidents on the highway and the accumulated lost time to travelers stuck, like those this morning, for hours. The media doesn't treat accidents on the highway as part of a connected story of problems because there is no connection among the motor vehicle operators involved in the crashes ...

A multi-vehicle accident on the Expressway south of Neponset around 7:40 this morning left several people injured, an 18-wheeler turned over, gravel all over the place and the entire southbound side and the northbound HOV lane shut.

Sarah reports a misstep on the stairs at Club Cafe in the South End sent her straight to the Quincy Hospital ER (well as straight as one can get what with detours all over I-93 and sidestreets) with what turned out to be two broken bones in her foot:

Doctor: I am giving you a prescription of Vicodin

Jenny (friend who drove her): WOOOO!

Doctor: Uhh that's not generally the response we like to hear. ...

And let's not forget the old Central Artery.

Boston Police report that an alleged shoplifter at the Target at the South Bay mall caused a bit of a commotion on the neighboring Southeast Expressway around 2:30 p.m. yesterday:

As the officer continued to pursue the suspect, he fled across the parking lot, and then jumped the barriers alongside 93 South, and ran directly in the path of oncoming traffic causing numerous cars to swerve to avoid hitting him. The suspect then continued and jumped the barriers onto 93 North, avoiding being hit this time due to the fact that State Police had stopped traffic on the northbound side after being advised of the fleeing suspect on the highway.

They report eventually catching up with him back on the southbound side.

Also, yesterday, shortly after midnight, police report breaking up a large house party at 81 Prentiss St. in Roxbury. All the furniture in the joint had been cleared out to make room for DJ equipment, large amounts of alcohol and at least 70 partygoers, police say. Three arrests, including the people with the lease on the place, who now also face illegal weapons charges.
