    A witness on chanel 5 in Boston said he weaved and lost control, the backhoe came off the trailer and the went airborne onto the van. Sad for him and the families involved. My prayers go out ot all.

    Yup this one was a mess. Traffic was ridiculous. So glad i wasnt in that area at the time but a buddy of mine was. He said people were out just walking around and hanging out.
