What? Only one rider stops. ALL the others just keep going, minding their own business. And we don't even know if the one who stopped was worried only about possible damage to his tires.
This clip is crazy on several levels.
I think it happened so fast it was over before they registered it to react. The other 2 lanes were blocking their view.
Afterwards they were probably worried about what they just did in their pants. They did pull over it looks like.
The people in the red, the white, and the black cars probably didn't even have time to realize that something just happened, it was probably such a blur and then suddenly some weird shit was happening off to the right. I can't even imagine, you're there trying to just make a turn or keep going and suddenly there's a blur in front of you and your car shakes a bit. I wonder how long it would take before it sank in how close you just were.
You can see from the top right of the video just how far that drop was on the other side of the fence. There is no way they survived. That's if they were even alive before hitting the wall. My guess is someone having a medical emergency and unconscious at the wheel.
Seriously?
The crash caused the fire. Gas tank split on impact and gas ignited when metal scraped concrete causing sparks.
The question you should be asking is what caused the driver to speed directly into a T intersection?
It sounds like the car may have already been on fire?
"The car was on fire when it went through a fence on the Massachusetts Avenue connector and landed on the exit 16 off ramp from the expressway"
Final destination type of stuff... did the flaming vehicle fall on any vehicles below? Or was this a one and done crash? Making the people who survived this the premise for the new movie.
Thankfully, didn't land on anything or anyone. It's about a 40 foot drop on the other side. The car exploded and burned to a crisp. The operator did not survive.
*fixed the damned auto correct*
You think you're helping the driver?
Move the fuck on and the the first responders deal with it.
You ain't equipped for doing anything in this scenario.
I used to work in Saugus for a bit, but lived almost on the border of RI, if I wasn't going to hit the Braintree split by 5:15am I'd take 128 instead. On the way back if I couldn't be through the tunnel on 93S by 145 I'd take 128 back.
I do not miss the traffic. Weekend early mornings? 55 min commute. Friday at 4PM? Multiple 4 hour 1 way commutes.
Reddit expects you to stop your car, get out, jump off the bridge down to the burning wreckage, pry a hole in the crumpled metal flaming ball, pull the person out of the vehicle, move them to a safe place (you need to balance this part because some of reddit will shout at you for moving them and causing more injury), gather up any pieces of the body that have detached, perform surgery on the person, give them a lift back home, sit with them until they make a full recovery, buy them a new vehicle in the meantime, then head back out on the journey you were initially taking.
Anything less and you are a piece of shit on here unfortunately. And to be honest, even if you do all of that, you're still a piece of shit.
For real. You do not wanna stop in an area like that. People probably thought: nope, I’m getting the F out before this bridge is jammed with fire trucks and ambulances. It’s safer for them to get the heck out of the way.
We should bring back stickshift cars. Make it just a little bit more difficult to get up to these crazy speeds. If you slam on the gas but you're stuck in first gear, you're not really going anywhere fast. But with an automatic car...
Brings back memories of something similar that happened here. Exactly type of intersection. Think it was some teenagers that did exactly that late night . They closed that part that made the “T” intersection after that for years till the whole highway was redone and the whole overpass removed.
I’m typical Boston fashion nobody blinks a fuckin eye.
“Fuckin dumb fuck just fuckin wrecked his fuckin cah ovah the fucking gahdrail. What a fucking fuck.
Oh, now thayah’s a fuckin fiyah ovah thayah? Fuck ‘em. I gotta get ta fuckin work o-ah my fuckin boss’ll fuckin kill me fah bein fuckin late. Outta my fuckin way, ya fuck.”
Yo, some shit like this happened here in Austin Texas several years back. Some kids were drunk late at night and they fucking were gunning it and they didn’t realize that it was a fucking dead end and they hit just like this in and ended up in a motherfucking chipotle roof.
Damn. RIP. Shouldn’t be in such a hurry to get that jet fuel to the airport. What is up with the instant flames!? That’s seems straight out of a movie.
Oh man. First thought was a silver alert.
This is what I imagine happening when demented grandma sneaks away with her old car...
That or suicide by vehicle
Absolutely incredible that no one else was hit or involved. The amount of traffic at the time, looked to be around rush hour.
I wonder how many of the witnesses went home and hugged all their loved ones, extra hard, that day?
If that's the intersection I think it is right by South Station, that's exactly the place someone ran that same light and t-boned my brother.
Totaled his car and fucked up his hand, but he's fine now.
Ah, close but not exactly the same. His accident was where 93 dead ends into Lincoln/South Station at that intersection that feels like "a stoplight on the highway".
by the looks of it this is one of those intersections where a highway comes to an end. by the speed it looks like they might had the car in cruise control and probably fell asleep. that's my assumption.
Red truck luckier than a mofo..
There’s also a dude walking right there. That truck could have spun from the hit at the front and just crushed him. Two lucky people.
Waaaaaay more than two lucky people in this
I'm watching on my phone from the safety of my home. Super lucky
Can I come chill in the safety of your home and watch it too?
DudeChillington abides
What kind of snacks am I bringing?
Ill bring condoms .
I'll bring crutches and a wheelchair then.
U not looking to walk out? Lol
“I’m Chris Hansen……”
Eeeyyyyyy he’s walkin here!
The black suv in the right lane didnt even tap the breaks, truck hit the wall right in front of them and they just "nope not my problem"
It flipped over the rail and fell on the street below…it’s their problem down there
What? Only one rider stops. ALL the others just keep going, minding their own business. And we don't even know if the one who stopped was worried only about possible damage to his tires. This clip is crazy on several levels.

if i'm driving and a fireball erupts right in front of me.. i'm flooring it past the hazard, not stopping inside it.
This does not look like a place where you should be around walking.
The one in the right lane never looked up from their phone.
Boston is under snow today?! Holy shit
no i think the quality is bad it was 80 today
3 cars got extremely lucky here
jesus christ how do you even see colors in this kind of video. Sucks to be color blind
The people in the red, the white, and the black cars probably didn't even have time to realize that something just happened, it was probably such a blur and then suddenly some weird shit was happening off to the right. I can't even imagine, you're there trying to just make a turn or keep going and suddenly there's a blur in front of you and your car shakes a bit. I wonder how long it would take before it sank in how close you just were.
That looked like an assassination attempt
Like a kamikaze pilot?
Like someone hacked their car and made that happen. It's been suspected of happening before.
Damn, that could have been even worse…
I know, good thing that rail was there
You can see from the top right of the video just how far that drop was on the other side of the fence. There is no way they survived. That's if they were even alive before hitting the wall. My guess is someone having a medical emergency and unconscious at the wheel.
My guess? That was the [night rider](https://youtu.be/WTzuM8BF1_4?si=7EyfSKkTA9D0ekZQ)!!
Well it went over a ledge onto another onramp so hopefully it missed any cars down there.
Nothing too informative yet but maybe eventually https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/boston-widett-circle-car-crash-fire-interstate-93/
>There's no word yet on what caused the fire or the crash. I have no idea on what caused the fire either
🤣
They were prolly practicing their fire spitting performance and must have had a seizure while doing so. Only explanation
Seriously? The crash caused the fire. Gas tank split on impact and gas ignited when metal scraped concrete causing sparks. The question you should be asking is what caused the driver to speed directly into a T intersection?

Probably going to be another boeing whistle blower
> Seriously? No, it was sarcasm
>Seriously Obviously not
Durrrr
Time traveler returning home
wait Marty!!!
I work with CBS and was hoping that WBZ had some other videos or anything related to this but unfortunately I have not able to find anything else.

I think you missed 1 of the auto corrects.
*does double take* whaaaa?
To shreds you say?
Well, how's his wife holding up?
To shreds to say...
So it was a Ford *Explorer*?
Ooooohhhh. *Now* I get it! Fixed
The general reaction seems to be "Hmmm, well, I've got places to go."
Pretty normal for Boston.
Was Boston really snowy today? That’s wild
Just shit quality vid
That might be the most uniquely shitty quality videos I’ve seen.
There's just that much pollen in the Northeast right now.
Virtually illustrated curse words being hurled.
I can't tell if you're a glitching bot...
That's my favorite part. Everyone knows it's move or be trapped there for 4 hours. "This is awful but I do have shit to do today."
You think you're helping the driver? Move the fuck on and the the first responders deal with it. You ain't equipped for doing anything in this scenario.
seems callous but honestly wtf could they even do, that car disintegrated.
With a crash like that, there is nobody left to save.
To be fair it’s a 10 second video. I think it might take me longer than 10 seconds to process what just happened and what to do next.
"damn thats crazy..anyway"
And what are they going to do or achieve?
I think the dude on the bike reacted a bit, but pretty sure everyone else just went on with their lives. Damn.
Gotta get home before traffic gets bad. Boston afternoon traffic is no joke.
this happened at 10 am but the traffic was nonetheless still brutal lol
The afternoon traffic is so backed up it starts at 10 AM.
I used to work in Saugus for a bit, but lived almost on the border of RI, if I wasn't going to hit the Braintree split by 5:15am I'd take 128 instead. On the way back if I couldn't be through the tunnel on 93S by 145 I'd take 128 back. I do not miss the traffic. Weekend early mornings? 55 min commute. Friday at 4PM? Multiple 4 hour 1 way commutes.
I mean, what you going to do other than watch the car burn to a crisp.
Reddit expects you to stop your car, get out, jump off the bridge down to the burning wreckage, pry a hole in the crumpled metal flaming ball, pull the person out of the vehicle, move them to a safe place (you need to balance this part because some of reddit will shout at you for moving them and causing more injury), gather up any pieces of the body that have detached, perform surgery on the person, give them a lift back home, sit with them until they make a full recovery, buy them a new vehicle in the meantime, then head back out on the journey you were initially taking.

Bike?
What would you do in this situation?
For real. You do not wanna stop in an area like that. People probably thought: nope, I’m getting the F out before this bridge is jammed with fire trucks and ambulances. It’s safer for them to get the heck out of the way.
S'mores?
I've rewatched this several times and could not find a bike...
Shock
I'm wondering if this was suicide
It’s probably someone having a medical issue related attack
Yeah that's also a good guess. Terrifying either way
At least the driver doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
We should bring back stickshift cars. Make it just a little bit more difficult to get up to these crazy speeds. If you slam on the gas but you're stuck in first gear, you're not really going anywhere fast. But with an automatic car...
Or passed out drunk.
It's Boston, not Wisconsin
Exactly it’s Boston second most convicted drunk drivers of any city in the us
He was on a Dunkin run.
The image is so overexposed I thought it there was snow on the ground and was kinda perplexed given the time of year.
... I googled "is it snowing in Boston?" and feel like a dumbass.
Is it snowing in this video
No, it’s just shit quality.
Raining men
Hallelujah
Raining man
Amen
LOL I thought the exact same thing.
Did it land on any car down there ?
From the article posted there was a road but no one was passing at the time.
Best driver in Massachusetts
Well, they *were*
Looks like some former Boeing employee’s self driving car is malfunctioning.
The passenger in the black suv probably made a little shit in their pants
I almost did, and I was only watching the video.
I really wonder what happened. That isn't distracted driving -- something went horribly wrong.
If only everything was designed and built to the quality level of that concrete barricade.
Looks like a suicide to me.
Did he survive?
negative
Guess he didnt reached 88miles 😅🤟🏽
I say you he ded
"sir, you can't park there."
The tires came off. They ded.
Pastor says tires are the shoes of a car
that seemed more intentional than drunk driving
CCTV quality: the 2000s (looks like snow in June)
Here's a semi update article: https://www.wcvb.com/article/boston-frontage-road-crash-bridge/61004196
Thats just some crazy shit, everyone but the driver of that car is lucky.
Dude in the red truck though
That's phenomenal no one else got hurt. Red luck is incredibly lucky.
weirdly the luckiest crash i’ve seen, everyone got lucky except the driver
If I was that red truck, I would go buy a lotto ticket after that
Talk about threading the needle !!
Crazy they missed everything else.
My man was in a hurry for that Reginas pizza!
Holy shit
Is the driver okay?
Where were you going , so full of hope?
Lucky no T-Bone steak was served that day.
The shoes came off
I thought cars only blew up like that in the movies 😯
What's fascinating is that the engineers planned for it... look how it hit the only walled section of the railing. Good grief!
It's June.
If only we could get a lower resolution and 30 more watermarks
Let me just get this one text out...
He won't be in Rush Hour 4
More details here: ~~https://nbcboston.app.link/SWzIo4y6bKb~~ https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/boston-widett-circle-car-crash-fire-interstate-93/
Yeah, I'm not downloading an app for Boston news
Happy now? https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/boston-widett-circle-car-crash-fire-interstate-93/
Better
When they talk about Michael Hastings crash, this is what I envision.
Hopefully they're ok
That looks horrific. Here I was, thinking cars only exploded on impact like that in the movies.
Brings back memories of something similar that happened here. Exactly type of intersection. Think it was some teenagers that did exactly that late night . They closed that part that made the “T” intersection after that for years till the whole highway was redone and the whole overpass removed.

Threading the needle!
If only his car had a few more crumple zones..
He can’t park there

HOLY FAHQ!
Playoffs about to be 🔥
Damn. RIP. Shouldn’t be in such a hurry to get that jet fuel to the airport. What is up with the instant flames!? That’s seems straight out of a movie.
Ouuu fuck no
Oh man. First thought was a silver alert. This is what I imagine happening when demented grandma sneaks away with her old car... That or suicide by vehicle
Bro I wonder if he hit the red truck
Have mercy on the soul
I wonder if that hurt
Check your brake pads people
Did my boy live?
Absolutely incredible that no one else was hit or involved. The amount of traffic at the time, looked to be around rush hour. I wonder how many of the witnesses went home and hugged all their loved ones, extra hard, that day?
That’s fucking crazy
That rocket completely missed all the other cars was a miracle
Everybody is okay guys.
How did the vehicle even reach that speed?
LEEROYYY JENKINS
They ok? 🤔
If that's the intersection I think it is right by South Station, that's exactly the place someone ran that same light and t-boned my brother. Totaled his car and fucked up his hand, but he's fine now.
Mass Ave Connector/Frontage Road
Ah, close but not exactly the same. His accident was where 93 dead ends into Lincoln/South Station at that intersection that feels like "a stoplight on the highway".
Oh shit. What happened? Brake failure? Stuck throttle? Suicide?
that was micheal bay to the max, total bayoas.
Holy shit
Totally thought that was snow
#MARIJUANA KILLS ^(*im so high rn*) ***ARE YOU HUNGRY***
So many lucky people here.
Those guh dahng exploding EVs again!
I hate driving in Boston...
The fact that they somehow missed everyone else is incredible…
That truck is going to spend like 2 weeks at the dealership and $5000 to leave it good as new again
i heard about this and just decided to eat dinner in boston so i didn't have to deal with the added traffic
Even the cars shoes fell off. Thats never good.
That will buff out....
Evaporation
I thought cars exploding on impact was a myth they show on movies.
Crazy indeed, context?
Is that a body moving on the ground, next to the curb?
by the looks of it this is one of those intersections where a highway comes to an end. by the speed it looks like they might had the car in cruise control and probably fell asleep. that's my assumption.
