A tractor trailer operator was trapped for three hours following a rollover crash on the Mass. Pike eastbound in Millbury on Saturday.

The crash occurred around 7 AM.

According to the Massachusetts State Police, the truck driver — a 51-year-old New York resident — was traveling on the Pike in a 2015 Freightliner when, for reasons still under investigation, the truck went off the right side of the road just beyond Exit 10A and rolled over a guardrail
