Falling Concrete From Bridge Hits Vehicles On Mass Pike In Framingham

FRAMINGHAM (CBS) - Falling concrete from a bridge struck two vehicles and slowed the rush hour commute on the Massachusetts Turnpike Thursday morning.

After the concrete fell from a beam on the Pleasant Street overpass in Framingham, all lanes of I-90 eastbound, except for one, were closed for the cleanup and bridge repair.
