    SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – I-91 North was closed after a crash involving two tractor trailers Saturday morning. Massachusetts State Police told 22News the accident happened near the second mile marker on I-91 North, just over the Connecticut line, in Longmeadow.

    According to the Massachusetts State Police twitter, there were four cars and two tractor trailers involved in the crash. Three people suffered minor injuries in the crash.

    Springfield fire spokesman Dennis Leger told 22News, firefighters were at the accident “in a team effort to recover the body of a truck driver involved in a multi car accident.” Leger later confirmed that the driver was killed in the crash.

    The Longmeadow Police Department told 22News that the highway will likely be shut down for five to six hours while crews clean up debris.

    State police closed the on-ramps for I-91 North in Longmeadow and Enfield to prevent more traffic from building up.

    Which is really interesting. Canopener on a corner of that JB trailer maybe? Whole trailer is stoved in.

    Now jumping that whole median? He must have been MOVING to get airborne. That trailer looks like it broke in the middle coming down into the median, never mind the rest of that tractor.

    The problem is the scattered freight on the pavement, surely that could have not come from just the JB trailer.

    Wonder if the deceased was a co-driver in the bunk?:biggrin_2554:

    That's a nasty section through there, speed limit drops to 45 and it goes from 4 lanes to 2. Lots of asinine jockeying for position. Especially the 4 wheelers.
