PALMER, Mass. (WGGB/WSHM) -The Mass Pike in Palmer has been reopened after two trucks reportedly collided in the Westbound lane Tuesday morning.

This happened amidst a very rainy morning here in western Massachusetts.

“Troopers reported one occupant entrapped with injuries,” State Police told Western Mass News at about 10 a.m.

Firefighters and EMS crews from the Palmer Fire Department responded to the scene as well.

At the start, one lane of travel remained open, but just before 10:30 a.m. state transportation officials reported that I-90 West had been closed down.

“MASSDOT is diverting traffic down Rt 84 and Rt 20 to avoid the road closure,” noted State Police.
