the southly wind. further out to the north, merrimack valley, southern new hampshire, winds may hold out of the north for a little while, hold, back those temperatures. so generally talking about near

more. >> nicole: christa, a wild sight. that driver out of the car. if i step out of the way, this traffic, that's regular rush hour, nothing to do with that accident. but this all happened just after 3:00 a.m. right on 93 south between exits five and six on the braintree-randolph line. crews say this a driver somehow flipped the car. it landed on the roof on top of a guardrail. that driver trapped insideful several good samaritans pulled over trying the see if you could roll the car off of the guardrail or get that driver out. they couldn't. so firefighters from both randolph and braintree jaws of life to get that driver out. it took about 40 minutes, but miraculously that driver was alert and conscious and then taken to a hospital with unknown injuries. it's unclear exactly what caused this

hazardous cleaning supply. so we have video from last night happened. this is right around 8:40 last night. six train cars coming off the tracks here in westford. and they don't exactly know why. that's pretty concerning to one town selectman i spoke to because he says this is the second derail. in almost the exact same location in recent history. so he's trying to figure out why this has happened yet again. last night they did a reverse 911 call to folks who live within a mile of this area, telling them they might have to evacuate because of those hazardous materials on board, but again, the good news is any of. this so taking a live look out here, now the next problem is going to be removing this train. so they're going to be bringing in some heavy equipment today, but they do
