Windshields Smashed After Debris Falls From I-93 Construction Zone

Multiple vehicles traveling on the McGrath Highway were damaged early Thursday morning after debris fell from a highway overpass above.

Four vehicles in total were struck by debris that fell from an I-93 construction zone that passes over the intersections of Mystic Avenue and McGrath Highway, State Police say. Some windshields were smashed.

None of the drivers were injured. Police blocked off the right lane of the highway to avoid similar incidents. The construction crew was informed about what had taken place.

According to MassDOT, the debris was produced by an overnight paving project. That particular stretch of I-93 runs from Charlestown through Somerville.

Construction on that portion of I-93 will run through late August.
