Icy Highways North of Boston Cause Multiple Spinouts, Crashes

The roads are icing over and causing spinouts and crashes even into early afternoon on I-95 north of Boston, State Police are reporting. This comes courtesy of the weather, as of late-morning temperatures hovering just below freezing and the fog and rain were making for a dangerous combination.

If you look at Google Maps or Waze, the I-95 was solid "red" northbound. On I-95 near Newbury, drivers are reporting a standstill as several cars spun off the road on account of the ice. WBZ reported crashes on 495 in Haverhill and in Andover.

"Please use caution in this area," tweeted State Police. "Complete standstill at exit 55 , Newbury," tweeted one person in response.

The Total Traffic Network reported an overturned vehicle in Andover on Rt 93 at the North bound exit 45.

Before that at I-495 South Bound near Exit 48 (Rte 125/Ward Hill Connector). There were reports of two separate crashes in the travel lanes with heavy delays in the area.
