Crash on I-93 in Dorchester

Adam Salsman had a long time to observe the aftermath of the crash on I-93 south just past the Neponset Circle exit, which cut traffic down to one lane around 8:30 a.m. At one point, the state was predicting 43 minutes to go three miles.

I hope all those drivers were wearing their helmets.

And look - that car is BLACK and doesn't have its lights on. Can't blame someone for running into it if they can't see it.

Love those wheels

Those headlights are $2,000 each, not a nice insurance claim.

I hope nobody dropped their phones

provide the data to the signs telling drivers it's 43 minutes to Neponset Circle.

will we ever find out? Car crashes lack solutions, when we never hear how to adjust behavior, roadway design or technology.

you will see a fire truck blocking the lanes due to this mini pile up in the high speed lane. Somebody was not paying attention and/or cars were way to close to each other.

Actually, there is plenty of information out there on how to drive responsibly.

is deployed, I try to avoid the left lane so I'm not hugging the barrier. I've seen too many instances where people suddenly slow down going into a curve because the barrier spooks them out.

If the car behind them wasn't following too closely for the speed and reaction time.

I hit the residual from this traffic. It seems like we are having more and more rush hour accidents and breakdowns. I remember traffic being bad before but suddenly this spring it seems like there is one every single day on my way to and from work.

no bicyclists were involved in the Expressway crash.

Then who will the drivers blame for the crash?

By DTP on Thu, 05/11/2017 - 2:04pm.

Global Bike to Work Day is today.

Boston Bike to Work Day is the 19th.

Because we have to be different.

Stop looking at your phones and maintain a safe distance between you and the vehicle in front of you. Problem solved.
