Commuting everyday on the roadways becomes routine. The same old traffic, scenery, idiots.
You never know when shit is gonna go sideways.
Yesterday , 11:00am on a Friday morning, this is the least of what you would be expecting
to happen...
A woman drove north in the southbound lanes of the Everett
Turnpike on Friday in Nashua, leading to a serious, multi-vehicle crash, police
said.
The woman, 83, of Merrimack, was taken to a hospital with
serious injuries after the crash, which occurred just before 11 a.m. near Exit
4, police said.
Police said the woman was driving a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu
when she collided head-on with a 2010 Toyota Tacoma pickup truck.
After the collision, one of the vehicles struck a Jeep
Wrangler, forcing it to roll over off the highway, police said. According to
investigators, two other sedans received more minor but disabling damage in the
crash.
The woman was seriously hurt, while drivers of three of the
other vehicles were transported to an out-of-state hospital for various
injuries, police said.
The crash sparked the closure of three lanes on the highway for about three hours and led to significant traffic backups. By the evening commute, traffic was flowing again.
It looks like the driver of the Tacoma may have tried to avoid the crash but too late. The driver and or
passengers it that jeep are damn lucky to be alive. One minute minding your own business then
life changes.
