Overview
- A Massachusetts Turnpike Authority bus left Cummins Highway in Mattapan and struck a tree and a fence on property owned by W. C. Canniff & Sons.
- The front of the bus was damaged and one passenger was taken to a local hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
- Officials said the driver swerved to avoid another motor vehicle but they have not identified that vehicle or said whether any citations were issued.
- Local authorities have opened an active investigation and have not released further findings about the cause or sequence of events.
- Current coverage is limited to a single local report so follow-up reporting is likely to clarify fault, any enforcement steps and implications for transit safety.
