Four people were taken to hospitals this morning after a six-vehicle crash on northbound Interstate 93 at the exit of the Tip O'Neill Tunnel, just before the Zakim Bridge, according to State Police.

The 7 a.m. crash involved a tractor-trailer truck and closed the right and left lanes of the interstate for an hour, said Trooper Thomas Murphy. It was not immediately clear how badly the four people had been injured, he said.

The accident backed up traffic for several hours. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
