Large pieces of metal damaged several vehicles in Boston’s O’Neill Tunnel on Friday morning, authorities said.

Troopers responding to the southbound side of Interstate 93 found metal debris scattered on the road inside the tunnel just before Exit 16 around 5:30 a.m., according to Massachusetts State Police.

State police estimated about five vehicles were damaged by the debris, including David Tavares’ Smart car.

Tavares shared photos with Boston 25 News that showed extensive damage to his tires and wheel rims.
