Overview
- A sedan drifted from the left into the right lane and struck another vehicle, then flipped onto its roof inside the two-lane eastbound Ted Williams Tunnel about 5:50 a.m. Thursday, blocking both lanes.
- MassDOT surveillance video cited by State Police clearly shows the vehicle crossing lanes then rolling, and officials released that footage to confirm the sequence of events.
- Emergency crews towed the overturned car, transported one person to a hospital as a precaution, and reopened both eastbound lanes at 6:43 a.m.
- The crash stopped traffic during the peak commute and caused backups that stretched for miles with delays lasting more than an hour until the scene was cleared.
- The tunnel’s narrow two-lane approach to Logan Airport can magnify the impact of single-vehicle crashes, prompting drivers to use the Callahan Tunnel or other alternate routes when incidents occur.
