Rollover causes fuel spill, safety concerns following two-vehicle crash

By Tara Vocino

A truck driver was transported to the hospital after a two-vehicle crash involving a tow truck and box truck on Friday morning at the intersection of Grover and Lynn Streets. According to Everett Deputy Fire Chief William Hurley, the driver sustained head pain. Fire crews were on scene for approximately two hours. Extensive cleanup was required due to the report of a fuel leak.

Lynn Street resident Pablo Vasquez said there’s been four accidents in the last month, possibly due to icy conditions. Vasquez said he was concerned about the nearby childcare center and the safety of the children.

“Everyone avoids Broadway and zooms down this street,” Vasquez said. “I will call City Hall and ask for lights at this intersection.”

Lynn Street resident Kelly Gaskill suggested putting a four-way stop sign there or a speed bump, citing the number of accidents.

Everett Police Sgt. Joseph Gaff said the cause is under investigation.
