Just saw on the news a 50-75 car pileup on Route 95 in Attleboro, and another 25 or so accident on Route 3 near Norwell/Duxbury.

Evidently, there is ice under those snow covered roads.....

TAKE IT SLOW AND BE CAREFUL if you are going out there....

50-100 Cars & Trucks northbound in Attleboro near RI line and supposedly several other multi car pileups in Mansfield:

EXACTLY! Becareful a friend of mine lost his car in a rollover on Alden Rd this morning around 4:30 on his way to work..

He rolled over about 3 times the side air bag deployed and then the front one didn't he was strapped in asith the seatbealt they had to get about 3 officers to get him out.

And this is all over a peice of black ice.. I don't even drive yet. But now i don't wanna drive..

So just becareful..

I read on another site that this began when a plow driver lost control and started spinning. Any truth to that?

Don't know as to the cause but Norton just call for one of our busses. That's a 40 min. ride in good weather!

Guys,
I heard on one of the providence radio stations that a plow skidded and sideswiped or crashed into ten cars. Then none of the cars behind the plow could stop. AFAIK 95 is still closed in both directions.

Boston GLobe website has it as 150 vehicles :eek:

Mass

Agency

has posted a full road conditions warning due to weather

It was a bad day out there.

Not a good choice for me to be delivering $20000 worth of custom cabinets from Middleboro to Weston:smash: needless to say I wasn't in any hurry. picked up 24' box truck at 9:30, loaded it, then we headed out, got there after 1pm , home by 6 pm
Roads were very slick.120mile round trip. glad I'm home, but my back isn't.

No doubt it was a bad day weather wise, nothing to do about that. What makes me crazy is all these drivers flying down the road like it dry and clear out!

Yeh, that commute was fun yesterday, fortunately I parked in Providence instead of RT128 Station...
