Truck Driver Injured in Peabody Crash

Russell Richardson, 56, of Woburn was severely injured in a truck accident that occurred Monday morning just after 9:00am on the ramp connecting Route 128 and I-95 in Peabody. Richardson somehow lost control of his delivery truck when he veered off of the highway and collided with a bridge abutment near Centennial Drive.

Richardson had to be rescued by the Jaws of Life from the cab section of the box truck and was taken to a Boston hospital for treatment of his significant injuries. He was listed in good condition later that evening. According to The Salem News, the box truck was the only vehicle involved in the crash and authorities have not yet released the exact cause.
