Two car accidents on two separate highways early Wednesday morning resulted in injuries and required vehicles to be towed from the scenes.
The Eagle Tribune reported that the first collision occurred between two cars at about 6:00am on 495 South near the exit for I-93. One of the individuals involved had to be hospitalized and both vehicles were towed away.
About 10 minutes after the first accident, authorities responded to the second car accident that took place on I-93 on the southbound side in the area of the 495 exits. No individuals sustained any injuries in the 93 accident, but one of the vehicles needed to be towed away.
The combination of the timing and proximity of the two motor vehicle accidents caused commuters to have a frustrating start to their morning commute. Traffic on 93 South was backed up beyond Route 213 in Methuen until about 7:30am, while 495 South traffic was stopped all the way back to the exits for Route 114.
Authorities also reported a truck had broken down on 93 South in the area of River Road, which caused commuters to have even more of a headache on the way to work. Police have not officially released the cause of either accident.
Massachusetts Accident Statistics
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 2 million occupants of motor vehicles required medical treatment in 2009 for injuries they suffered in an accident.

What Can Cause a Concussion?
Car accidents, sports injuries, and slip and fall incidents can all result in a concussion depending on how the head was injured. A concussion can occur following any impact or blow to the head.
Reactions to experiencing a concussion can vary. Some individuals can lose consciousness, while others may not even know they have a concussion. Most individuals who experience a concussion will fully recover, as the majority of concussions are mild.
Symptoms of a Concussion
Concussion symptoms can appear in individuals as soon as the injury occurs or may not show until days or even weeks afterwards. Here are some symptoms to be aware of following a head injury:

How are Concussions Treated?
Most individuals who experience concussions will get better with time and plenty of rest. A successful treatment, however, is based on the severity of the concussion and the initial head injury.
