Route 3 reopens after paint truck accident

Duxbury (WBZ Newsroom)  -- An overturned line-painting trick caused headaches for commuters south of Boston Friday.

Part of Route 3 was shut down for several hours after the accident at around 2 a.m. in Duxbury.

There are no reports of any serious injuries.

Propane did leak out and a hazardous materials team was called in to clean up the mess.

Traffic at the start of rush hour was backed up for miles because only two lanes were getting by at sunrise.

Police are directing drivers around the scene by having them exit at Route 14 west. 

The truck was uprighted and removed from the scene and Route 3 was reopened before 7 a.m.
