Police Investigating Lumber Truck Accident on Middlesex Turnpike

Morning commuters on Middlesex Turnpike saw a wild scene this morning after a lumber truck spilled its contents.

Members of the Massachusetts State Police are investigating how and why a truck lost its load of lumber on the ramp from Route 3 south to Route 128 at about 7:24 a.m. this morning, Boston.com reports. Police said the lumber, which tumbled onto the roadway, slowed but did not stop traffic during the morning rush. No injuries were reported in the incident. The State Police truck team is handling the investigation. Did anyone get any pictures of the lumber accident? We'd love to have them.

Truck Fire on Route 3

We're hearing scanner reports of a dump truck with its cargo on fire on Route 3.

There was a truck fire on Route 3 approximately two hours ago, according to Detective Lieutenant Scott Jones of the Bedford Police Department.  A dump truck carrying hay had its cargo catch fire on Route 3 southbound, just south of exit 26 in Burlington, according to the BPD twitter account. State Police were on the scene.  Route 3 was closed at exit 26 southbound, according to the BPD twitter page. The truck was also pulling a trailer full of hay, but the hay in the dump truck caught fire. Bedford, Billerica and Burlington Police all responded.
