TRAFFIC ALERT UPDATE: SW Roxbury/8th SW reopens after car fire

1:44 PM: Avoid SW Roxbury/8th SW for a while – it’s going to take some time to clean up after that car fire. After hearing the first engine at the scene call for backup, we went over to check it out. SFD tells us no one was hurt.

2:46 PM: Just heard via scanner that most of the intersection has reopened (sounds like eastbound Roxbury is the exception). Heading back to check in person.

4:05 PM: Finally made it over. Now open all ways.

    Don’t see that every day.

      Glad we don’t. And it happened while I was working on a followup about a car fire in an even-more-prominent spot two weeks ago. Story to come.

    Just tried going thru it just now WB and it was backed up/down all the way to Arrow Head so once I got up the hill to the light I took 4th SW. 

    UGH that stretch of road is terrible for accidents, roll overs…

      We finally made it over and it’s now fully open.

Sorry, comment time is over.
