Cars are moving again on the Massachusetts Turnpike today after a tractor-trailer loaded with paint rolled over in Hopkinton and snarled traffic for some six hours.
The accident in the eastbound lanes of the Pike near Exit 11A was cleared at 1:10 p.m., State Police said. At one point, traffic was backed up for 15 miles.
The 6:30 a.m. crash, which also involved two cars, sent one person to the hospital. The driver of the truck had to be cut out of the cab by the Hopkinton Fire Department. The person who was hospitalized was taken to the University of Massachusetts Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, State Police said.
