AUBURN – A tractor-trailer crash is causing disruption on Interstate 90 westbound just after the I-290 interchange at mile marker 89.7 ahead of the morning commute.
According to State Police Radio Traffic, a caller observed the truck go through a guardrail and into a ditch off the highway, prompting a response from Massachusetts State Police and Interstate Towing.
The driver was reported to be out of the vehicle, walking and talking, and does not appear to have sustained serious injuries.
Crews are on scene and have requested the Department of Transportation to respond with arrow boards and cones as they prepare for the removal of the truck and trailer.
A diesel spill has also been reported after one of the truck’s fuel tanks became submerged into the ground, adding to the cleanup efforts.
The right lane is expected to be closed as crews work the scene, which will likely impact traffic during the morning commute.
