A massive container ship has become lodged on Commonweath Ave outside Newton City Hall.  The captain of the Ever Given said in an Associated Press report “the light turned yellow at Walnut and I thought I could squeak through.  I guess I took my eye off the ball and never saw that slight bend in the road at Bulloughs Pond”

Newton DPW commissioner James McGonagle says “it’s a real mess.  We’d like to get it out of there by this afternoon’s rush hour but that’s looking iffy at this point”
