The truck was being uprighted around 4 p.m., the Massachusetts Department of Transportation tweeted.
Traffic on the interstate was still heavily impacted at time of publication according to Google Maps traffic data. Southbound traffic on I-93 was slow as far north as Dorchester, and southbound traffic on I-95 slowed for miles through Dedham and Westwood before the point it reaches the I-93 terminus.
Photos from the crash show large amounts of debris spilled out onto the road.
Vehicles came in to scoop up the debris before all lanes could be opened.
