BOSTON (WBZ) . A spectacular crash involving a flatbed truck was caught
on tape inside the I-90 connector tunnel. The truck was too big, but the
driver kept going despite alarms.
It happened Tuesday just after 4 p.m. on the westbound side.
In a video released by the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority Thursday, the
flatbed truck carrying a crane is seen heading into the Ted Williams
Tunnel. It triggered the overheight sensors and the warning sign before
the tunnel's entrance, but the driver didn't stop.

Welcome to Boston. It's been a while since I've been on their roads,
but from what I can remember, these aren't very friendly drivers.

Why do I get the feeling, and have no concern for it, that most likely
a Mexican will soon be doing his job?

I'm thinking if they do it, it'll be cheaper.
But someone here raised an interesting point about (at least the
illegals) driving, in that if they realize there's a chance of
deportation, it's plausible they'll drive extra cautiously. Too bad we
can't deport "native" americans for screwing up when they drive. At
least Mr. Darwin gets his pick at some of 'em.

As if they didn't have enough problems with the ceilings in those
tunnels.....
I found the notation that this guy was not the first overheight truck
to enter the tunnels interesting as was the girl's comments about the
speeding and LLBing by the trucks.
