18-wheeler slides off 128 near the turnpike into the Charles; driver rescued

Truck in Charles River

State Police report the truck, carrying mail, somehow slid down a long embankment from Rte. 128 north near the ramp to the turnpike and Rte. 30 just before noon. The driver, who can't swim, managed to get onto the top of his cab, from which he was rescued by Weston firefighters. The Newton Fire Department reports he was taken to a local hospital for observation.

going into the water on purpose this time of year would have been a big mistake.

On purpose. It feels great!

I don’t think he felt so good though.

stashed away in the back of the truck so he could warm up again afterwards.
