Boston Crash Forces Minivan Off The Road, Almost Off 18 Ft Ledge
Firefighters came to the rescue. But watch for serious traffic delays in the Audubon Circle Area.
BOSTON, MA — A crash near Beacon Street at Maitland Street this evening near Audubon Circle forced a mini-van with three people in it to dangle over the edge of an 18 foot embankment at a construction site, Boston Fire Department officials said, forcing a technical rescue.
Officials had to close down the area around the crash and the site where photos show the minivan's front tire over the edge of an embankment wall and fire fighters working to rescue the folks inside.
Steer clear, say police and fire and watch out for backups on account of the road closures.
