EAST GREENWICH, R.I. -- A 30-foot boat on a trailer fishtailed and then overturned on Route 95 northbound near the Route 4 merge just after 3 p.m. Tuesday, state police said.
The driver of the truck towing the boat told troopers that he swerved to avoid a vehicle that had cut him off, Lt. Paul Olszewski said. The trailer fishtailed until it had turned 180 degrees, Olszewski said, when boat and trailer rolled onto their sides. The boat broke free and landed in the right lane.
Two right lanes just north of Route 4 were closed from 3:05 to 4:50 p.m., causing backups on Route 4 and Route 95, Olszewski said.
There were no other vehicles involved, no injuries and no charges.
