Beer Truck Crash Snags Morning Commute
NEWTON, Mass. -- A tractor-trailer truck carrying beer and hard alcohol overturned on a ramp to Route 128 Wednesday morning snagging traffic for hours. NewsCenter 5's Kelley Tuthill reported that the truck rolled over shortly before 4 a.m. but none of the beer spilled out onto the roadway. When crews tried to right the truck, the roof came off dumping scores of boxes of beer, wine and vodka onto the side of the road.
The ramp was closed for several hours as crews worked to right the truck and drink clean up the debris. "Alcohol is considered hazardous material," said McCarthy. A group of minimum security prisoners were brought in to help clean up the debris. No one was injured. | No word on how much of the cargo was "destroyed" |
