Yesterday’s tractor-trailer spillover on the Massachusetts Turnpike near Fenway Park was just the latest in a spate of area truck accidents that industry officials ultimately blame on more cars and trucks packed onto more congested area roadways.

But a Teamsters Local 25 executive countered that a loosening of truck regulations at the request of companies has led to more tired drivers working longer hours and posing greater dangers to the public.
Both sides declined to comment on the specifics of yesterday’s westbound Pike accident, which still was under investigation last night.


But what’s clear is that the turnover, which caused yet another traffic headache for already beleaguered Hub motorists, was the fifth major truck accident on a state roadway in the last three months.

Other recent highway-clogging truck accidents have occurred on Interstate 93 in Dorchester, Route 24 in Brockton, Interstate 90 in Hopkinton and Route 128 in Dedham.
