Massachusetts Pike Rollover Truck Carrying Bananas
A rollover accident on the Massachusetts turnpike in early October resulted in a spill of thousands of
bananas and the leaking of about 100 gallons of gasoline from the overturned truck. State police were
forced to close eastbound lanes at Exit 18 for 9-hours while the bananas were recovered, and absorbent
used to neutralize the diesel fuel. Fortunately, there were no reported injuries. There were no details about what caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
