Tractor Trailer Flies Off Bridge
WESTON, Mass. (AP) — A tractor-trailer veered off the road and plunged into a river on Saturday, state police said. The truck went down a long embankment near an exit from Interstate 95 to the Massachusetts Turnpike at around noon and ended up in the Charles River. The driver, who police said can’t swim, was standing atop the truck when first responders arrived. Weston Fire Department firefighters brought the driver to safety and he was taken to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston by a Newton Fire Department unit. Authorities said the driver was conscious and alert and didn’t appear to sustain any injuries. |

~ Fell asleep at the wheel, but is fully alert now. ~ He must have fallen asleep at the wheel, since obviously he didn't even brake, and I don't think it's a corrupt habit in Massachusetts to not keep truck brakes properly maintained. |
