I was coming east on 90 just after it happened and the Newton/Watertown exit was backed up at least half a mile. So, I decided I would just get off at Allston/Brighton instead.

That's when I joined a 2-3 mile backup (and growing) under the Circle of Death. We then proceeded to crawl at 2 mph while dodging out of the way of emergency vehicles joining the fray (and then trying not to get hit by assholes attempting to traffic surf the back end of the emergency vehicles through traffic).

Over an hour later, we passed the scene in the one left lane that was open at the time and they were just starting to setup the crane to pull the truck back onto the highway.

Did the driver pass their test wearing a special earbud?
