Crash at Commonwealth Avenue and Hereford Street in the Back Bay

A roving UHub photographer came upon the scene of a crash on Commonwealth Avenue at Hereford around 2 p.m.

Hmm, maybe Comm. Ave. in the Back Bay isn't the best place to park?

It would be useful to know WHERE on Comm Ave, and which side.of the street (if near the mall), especially if it is shut down.

As mentioned in the original post, it was near Hereford.

As not mentioned in the original post, it was on the outbound side.

I walked by just after it happened.

Multiple cars are involved along with the moving truck. The only explanation for how they landed is that either a beige Honda (not in the picture), the totaled Saab, or the moving truck went through a red light. It did not appear that there were any more than minor injuries - at least none I could see. It appeared that firefighters were administering first aid to one person.

Looks like somebody wasn't obeying our strict new 25 mph speed limit.

in front of me. I had no choice but to swerve to avoid it.

Damn, I was hoping to be the first to make that joke. The mailbox is at fault!
