Meaty mess on Mass Pike



M.L.

Weston (WBZ Newsroom) -- One person suffered minor injuries and sides of beef were strewn all over the highway in an accident involving three tractor-trailers and one car at a Massachusetts Turnpike toll plaza.
State police say one of the trucks apparently struck a toll booth and was rear-ended by another truck at the eastbound toll plaza in Weston at about 2:30 a.m. Monday, and both fell on their side. Another truck and a car were also involved.
Some slabs of beef one of the trucks was transporting spilled onto the road.
Lt. David Wilson says one truck driver suffered minor injuries.
The crash remains under investigation.
A spokesman for the Turnpike Authority says traffic is being waved through the tolls without paying, and the mess should be cleaned up by noon.
