WESTBOROUGH – A large truck flipped onto its side on Monday afternoon in Westborough, spilling debris across Route 9 and prompting a lengthy backup near the Westborough/Southborough border.
State police were on scene alongside towing crews as they worked to clear the road.
The Westborough Police Department took to Facebook in the meantime, warning community members to “expect delays.”
“This will be a long duration event,” they wrote in a message around 1:30 p.m.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation sent its own message around the same time, noting that both the right, westbound lane of Route 9 and the I-495 southbound ramp onto Route 9 were closed due to the crash.
Crews were seen using a bobcat to clear debris as of 2:15 p.m.
More substantial heavy machinery had also been brought in.
