Drivers on Worcester Street ran into more than the usual rush-hour backups Thursday evening after a propane transport truck was involved in a crash outside 155 Worcester Street in Grafton. Police and fire crews are on scene and are in the process of off-loading the tanker onto a secondary vehicle, a slow, methodical operation that officials say will tie up traffic for a while. Motorists have been urged to steer clear of the area and use alternate routes until the transfer wraps up.
