Tractor-trailer driver hits guardrail at Father Hart Bridge in Hyde Park, snares traffic across neighborhood

Tony shows us the suddenly sagging trailer of an 18-wheeler whose driver found out what happens when you hit a guard rail at the intersection of Milton Street and Hyde Park Avenue by the Readville train station. Hyde Park rush-hour traffic, already a daily mess due to the closing of the River Street Bridge in Cleary Square, got even worse.

I was on a 32 bus that could not get to Wolcott Square and I got off at the stop before the bridge with my 3 shopping bags from Shaw's and trudged home.

It seems obvious that the guardrails suddenly reared up and whipped down smiting the offending vehicle as guardrails are wont to do on bridges. /s
