Pickup left dangling off Zakim Bridge in early-morning crash
State Police say the driver swerved to avoid a disabled vehicle.
A crash left a pickup truck dangling off the side of the Zakim Bridge Thursday morning.
Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Gregory Jones said troopers responded shortly before 5:30 a.m. to reports of a pickup stuck on snow and fencing on the bridge.
The driver had reportedly swerved to avoid a disabled vehicle, Jones said.
A heavy-duty tow rotator truck was called to secure the pickup, and no injuries were reported, he said.
Aerial video from Boston 25 News showed the truck sitting on a snowbank and fencing in the precarious position, with the front passenger-side tire hanging over the edge, on the northbound side of the highway.
A Massachusetts Department of Transportation spokesperson said the right lane of I-93 northbound at Exit 19 was closed just before 7 a.m. and reopened at 8:10 a.m.
