In Billerica, on US Route 3, close to the Treble Cove Road exit, a petrol tanker carrying thousands of gallons of fuel overturned, causing traffic to stop in both directions.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation tweeted, "Expect delays and seek alternate route," reported Boston Herald.
According to the Massachusetts State Police, there is a continuing hazmat and environmental response as a result of the truck's fuel spill from the top of the tank onto the street. "Lane closures remain in place for the foreseeable future," they continued.
The collision was reported on Wednesday at 9:56am, the Billerica Police Department tweeted.
