Truck Accident Attorneys Discuss Wrong Way Accident

A truck accident in Millbury this morning injured a Sutton man after two tractor-trailer collided. The accident occurred around 3:45am on a ramp from Route 122 to Massachusetts Turnpike.

According to state police, the 51-year-old man from Sutton was driving a 2000 Mack truck toward to the toll booth. He was going the correct way, but state police report that another driver, a 33-year-old man from Pennsylvania, was in the wrong lane when their vehicles collided.

The injured driver was treated for minor injuries at UMass Memorial Medical Center – University Campus in Worcester. The other driver was not injured.
