Tractor-trailer crash on I-90 slowed traffic for hours Thursday morning
State troopers responded to the two-car crash on I-90 around 7 a.m., Massachusetts State Police said in an email Thursday afternoon. The tractor-trailer hydroplaned before jack-knifing and hitting a sedan.
Charlton firefighters and paramedics medically evaluated the people involved in the crash, State Police said. The tractor-trailer driver was taken to a nearby hospital for further evaluation of their injuries.
The crash also caused a fuel spill, State Police said. The left and middle lanes of the highway were closed temporarily to allow for removal of the vehicles.
A photo of the crash shows the sedan off the side of I-90 at the left side tree line and the tractor trailer leaning off the same side of the highway.

Trump Will Slow, but May Not Stop, the Rise of Electric Vehicles
Sales of Teslas are plunging. General Motors and other automakers are increasing production of big pickups and sport utility vehicles. Republicans have killed incentives for electric vehicle purchases. Electric vehicles have clearly lost momentum in the United States. And combustion engine cars and trucks are enjoying a renaissance to the dismay of environmentalists who worry about air pollution and greenhouse gases. But there's reason to believe that electric vehicles will remain a significant part of the U.S. car market and that sales of these models will eventually grow again in the coming months. Electric vehicles from Tesla and some other automakers are less vulnerable to President Trump's tariffs than many conventional cars because more of their parts are made in the United States. Advocacy groups are conducting marketing campaigns to emphasize the lower fuel costs and other advantages of electric vehicles. And automakers appear to realize that they cannot give up on electric cars if they hope to remain competitive globally. Washington has become hostile to electric cars. Government policy on electric vehicles has reversed since Mr. Trump was elected. For consumers, the most visible change is the elimination of tax credits of up to $7,500 for electric vehicle purchases and leases. The credits, which Democrats put in place when Joseph R. Biden Jr. was president, will now expire at the end of September under the big policy and tax law that Mr. Trump signed in July. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Inside the ‘Radical Transformation' of America's Environmental Role
Ever since 1965, when President Lyndon B. Johnson's science advisory committee warned of the dangers of unchecked global warming, the United States has taken steps to protect people from these risks. Now, however, the Trump administration appears to be essentially abandoning this principle, claiming that the costs of addressing climate change outweigh the benefits. The effect is to shift more of the risk and responsibility onto states and, ultimately, individual Americans, even as rising temperatures fuel more extreme and costly weather disasters nationwide, experts say. 'It's a radical transformation of government's role, in terms of its intervention into the economy to try to promote the health and safety of citizens,' said Donald Kettl, a professor emeritus at the University of Maryland's School of Public Policy. Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, this week proposed to repeal the landmark scientific finding that enables the federal government to regulate the greenhouse gases that are warming the planet. In effect, the E.P.A. will eliminate its own authority to combat climate change. Speaking at a truck dealership in Indianapolis, Mr. Zeldin said the E.P.A. would reverse a 2009 scientific conclusion, known as the endangerment finding, that greenhouse gas emissions pose a threat to public health. He said the agency would also rescind Biden-era regulations designed to reduce planet-warming emissions from automobile tailpipes. While few people have heard of the endangerment finding, it has had a profound effect on society. Its establishment cleared the way for the Obama administration to set the country's first limits on greenhouse gases from cars and power plants, with the goal of putting more electric vehicles on the roads and adding more renewable energy to the electric grid.
