| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | Light freezing drizzle coated highways with a thin layer of glaze and caused dozens of crashes including a series of pile-ups on both sides of Route 495 in Franklin, which involved 40 cars. The crashes resulted in both Routes 495 and 140 being shut down for more than an hour after 8 PM. There also were numerous accidents in the Boston area and as far south as Pembroke and Duxbury, where there was a 15-car pile-up on Route 3. A 16-car pile-up was reported in Canton near the junction of Route 128 and Route 95. A 4-car pile-up was reported in Quincy. Only minor injuries resulted from the automobile crashes. |
