Portion of Route 220 Near Prison Closed Due to Truck Accident

The accident was just over the Connecticut line in East Longmeadow, MA.

Motorists who use Taylor Road near the state prison complex in Enfield to get to Massachusetts are being diverted Wednesday morning due to an accident.

A tractor-trailer truck struck a utility pole on Route 220 just over the border in East Longmeadow, MA. That section of roadway, known as Shaker Road, is closed between the state line and Pease Road, near the Hasbro plant, according to a report on WWLP-TV.

No estimate has been given as to when the road will re-open, the report said.
