SAGAMORE, Mass. — Traffic backed up heading on and off Cape Cod Wednesday afternoon after a car was nearly crushed under a tractor-trailer on the Sagamore Bridge.
Massachusetts State Police tweeted about the crash on Route 6 eastbound and said the car was leaking gas.
The bridge was closed while tow trucks lifted the truck off the car. Just before 4 p.m., the bridge was reopened to traffic but drivers should expect delays.
Take a look at Route 6 east and west - midway between the #Sagamore and #Bourne Bridges. It's packed.
