WESTBOROUGH – A truck hit Westborough’s East Main Street bridge causing a delay in traffic at about 1:30 p.m. this afternoon.
This crash marked the latest of the line of truck collisions with the 12 foot six inch bridge which is too low to allow standard tractor trailers though.
The collision left a piece of the truck hanging on the bridge and the top of the truck crumpled.
In addition, there was debris from the truck scattered underneath the bridge.
The duration of the traffic delay depends on when a towing company will take the truck away, according to Westborough Police Sergeant Christopher Atchue.
In the meantime, there are Westborough police officers downtown directing traffic.
“The trucks and the bridge do not get along too well,” Atchue said.
He added, “I’ve seen it too many times to recall. Once we get our people into place it’s an organized song and dance, we’re so used to it.”
