WESTWOOD and CANTON, Mass. — Two separate crashes on busy stretches of Interstate 95 in Massachusetts are delaying Friday morning commuters.
The first crash happened on the northbound side of I-95 at Exit 28 in Westwood around 2 a.m., where MassDOT said crews were responding to a tractor-trailer fuel spill.
Massachusetts State Police say the tractor-trailer was in the breakdown lane when a Ryder truck collided with it.
At least one of the drivers sustained serious injuries, according to state police.
Video from the scene showed traffic inching by the crash.
All lanes in Westwood reopened around 8 a.m.
The second crash also happened on the northbound side of the highway at Exit 25 in Canton, where MassDOT said the three right lanes were closed.
Two commercial trucks and a passenger vehicle crashed on the northbound side of the highway at Exit 25 just before 6:30 a.m., according to Massachusetts State Police.
State police said both occupants of the passenger vehicle were taken to Boston Medical Center. There was no immediate word on the severity of their injuries.
One of the trucks involved in the crash spilled fertilizer, causing a “large debris field,” according to state police.
Video from the scene showed traffic backed up for miles leading up to the crash and multiple emergency vehicles blocking the travel lanes.
Drivers are urged to avoid the crash areas, as the closures are expected to last several hours.
Both crashes remain under investigation.
