    Truck spills contents on busy Boston road after hitting overpass on Storrow Drive

    A truck spilled its contents all over a busy Boston road after it struck an overpass on Storrow Drive on Friday morning.

    The truck hit a westbound overpass and rolled over at the Fenway exit, snarling traffic for morning commuters, according to Massachusetts State Police and MassDOT.

    “For the safety of all, traffic is down to one lane and there is one lane closed on the exit,” state police said in a post on X after the crash.

    Photos from the scene showed the top of the truck sheered off and wooden pallets and other debris strewn in the roadway.

    Motorists were urged to avoid the area as crews worked to clear the mess and all lanes were eventually reopened just after 7:30 a.m.

    There was no immediate word of anyone being injured in the crash.

    This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
