WESTON, Massachusetts — A traffic crash on Interstate 90 eastbound, commonly known as the Massachusetts Turnpike (Mass Pike), led to the closure of two right lanes in Weston on Thursday, causing significant delays for motorists traveling toward Boston.
According to transportation officials, emergency crews responded to the scene shortly after reports of the collision were received. The incident occurred along a heavily traveled section of the highway that serves as a major route for commuters and travelers moving between the western suburbs and the Greater Boston area.
Authorities temporarily closed two right lanes while first responders assessed the situation, assisted those involved, and worked to clear damaged vehicles and debris from the roadway. As a result, traffic quickly backed up through the area, creating lengthy delays during a busy travel period.
Motorists were advised to use caution when approaching the crash site and to consider alternate routes whenever possible. Traffic management teams monitored congestion levels while crews continued recovery and cleanup efforts.
The Weston–Newton section of the Massachusetts Turnpike is known for experiencing frequent traffic slowdowns due to heavy commuter volume, construction activity, and occasional roadway incidents. Thursday’s crash added to those challenges, affecting travel times for many drivers throughout the region.
At the time of reporting, officials had not released information regarding the number of vehicles involved or whether any injuries had been sustained. Investigators continue to review the circumstances surrounding the collision, and additional details may become available as the investigation progresses.
Transportation authorities remained on scene working to restore normal traffic flow as quickly and safely as possible. Drivers are encouraged to stay informed through official traffic updates and exercise patience while traveling through affected areas.
Further information is expected once authorities complete their assessment of the incident.
