A box truck got stuck this morning in the Storrow Drive Tunnel in the Back Bay, backing up eastbound traffic for miles.

The driver of the truck was taken by ambulance to Massachusetts General Hospital with what were described as non-life-threatening injuries. The name of the driver was not released.

The Isuzu box truck became wedged in the tunnel at 7:10 a.m., police said. By 8:45 a.m., traffic was still restricted to one lane.

Trucks are barred from using Storrow Drive because of the low tunnels.
