Memorial Drive

Haven't found a link just yet, but right outside of my office, an 18-wheeler lodged itself under the pedestrian bridge just west of BU Bridge on Memorial Drive. It seems that he was heading from the Allston-Brighton tolls to Microcenter and inexplicably missed the left turn into their parking lot, missed the warning signs for low height at the Shell station, and ended up 70% of the way under the pedestrian bridge before coming to a complete stop.

EDIT: Channel 5 has more details and video/pictures. Thanks, J258.

Around 6:15 a.m. between Western Avenue and JFK Street, Channel 4 reports, adding the driver was found soaking wet but otherwise OK.

Channel 4 also reports a driver in Charlestown was not so lucky - He was found dead beside his car after a violent crash in the tunnel on Rutherford Avenue outbound.

Expect delays Monday evening

WHAT: Elephants, zebras, and horses from the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will walk along several Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) roadways to the TD Banknorth Garden where they will perform with the circus during the week. As they are led to the Garden, Massachusetts State Police and Cambridge and Boston police officers will provide a rolling roadblock behind them, which will slow traffic for the duration of their walk.
