Chasing Cars from Leverett Circle to Tobin

With two accidents in the past month on the area near the Leverett Connector scrutiny of the passage has increased. Channel 5 reported early this morning that the State will employ a consultant to look into the safety of the curves, roadways in general, and signage. Nearly a month ago a car careened off a ramp closing the roadway for a number of hours. Just this week a big-rig truck struck the side guard rail, went through it, and dropped nearly 70 feet to the ground below. A passenger in the first accident was killed and the driver of the truck in Monday's accident is still hospitalized. We found the video below on YouTube of someone successfully navigating the ramps near the accident site and heading over the Tobin Bridge, all put to the music of Snow Patrol's Chasing Cars. Warning: the video is pretty boring, but it's a good way to see a stretch of highway that's been in the news a lot if you're usually sticking to T transit.)
