Icy Conditions Trigger Two-Tractor-Trailer Crash, Shutting Route 1A Southbound in Revere

Police expect the southbound stretch to remain closed for most of the day during recovery operations.

Overview

  • Two tractor-trailers collided just before 6 a.m. on Route 1A southbound in Revere after freezing rain left the roadway icy.
  • Live images from the scene showed the trucks apparently overturned with debris strewn across the lanes.
  • Front-end loaders, bulldozers and heavy tow trucks were deployed to clear debris and recover the vehicles.
  • The closure spans between the General Edwards Bridge and Oak Island Road, blocking southbound travel.
  • All southbound traffic coming from Lynn is being diverted onto Revere Beach Boulevard, and officials have not confirmed any injuries.
