A dump truck rolls over inside O’Neill Tunnel and so causes a massive traffic mess during the morning commute today.

The MBTA thus enjoyed an unexpected respite from the usual as well as well-deserved umbrage from commuters today when a City of Boston Water and Sewer truck full of gravel overturned inside of the O’Neall Tunnel at roughly 8 AM during the height of the all but invariably ugly Monday morning commute.

In turn, the Central Artery was so turned into a parking lot stretching all the way from Downtown Boston to at least the Braintree Y for northbound commuters.

That and causing lesser problems for eastbound traffic on the Massachusetts Turnpike.

The driver of the truck was taken to the hospital given non-life threatening injuries and the mess eventually cleared.

In the meanwhile, the MBTA would be well-advised to prepare for problem during the evening commute given only to be expected regression to the means expectations.

After all, we all know that the T happens.
