Stranded Amazon carts slow traffic on Route 1 in Revere on Cyber Monday

REVERE, Mass. — Amazon carts were seen stranded on Route 1 in Revere on Cyber Monday, one of the busiest days of the year for the retail giant.

It appears the carts became dislodged from an Amazon truck in the area of Lynn Street early Monday morning.

Aerial video showed traffic slowly passing a cluster of blue carts lined up along the side of the busy highway.

It wasn’t immediately clear if the carts contained any packages.

In an update shared with Boston 25 News late Monday morning, an Amazon spokesperson confirmed that the carts had been removed from the highway.

Amazon is investigating with the assistance of MassDOT and local law enforcement.

There were no additional details available.
