MARSTONS MILLS – The Exit 5 off ramp for Route 6/ Mid-Cape Highway westbound traffic was closed down for over an hour earlier tonight when Massachusetts State Troopers needed to call in the highway department and heavy duty towing equipment…
At about 8pm, troopers responded to the jackknifed tractor trailer…
Slick roads from the heavy rains seemingly caused the tractor trailer to lose control…
The driver was not injured… had a Quebec drivers license… the tractor trailer was reportedly also registered out of Quebec, Canada…
The trailer was empty at the time of the crash…
Tow truck drivers worked diligently and quickly in order to clear the highway off ramp…
The highway department had illuminated road signs set up in order to help troopers close of the ramp…
The entire scene was cleared at approximately 9pm…
