Route 128 Accident Shuts Down Two Lanes

A four car accident on Route 128 South in Needham resulted in two lanes being closed down for a portion of this morning’s commute.

No one was injured in the accident, and therefore no transportation to the hospital was needed.

“From the looks of it was probably one of those chain reaction rear end crashes,” said State Trooper Thomas Murphy.
