Police: Vehicle with test samples crashes; no tests impacted

BOSTON (AP) – State police say a vehicle carrying what authorities believed to be COVID-19 test samples has crashed near the Massachusetts and Rhode Island border, but no samples were impacted.

Massachusetts State Police Spokesman Dave Procopio said a courier carrying test samples was involved in a crash on Interstate 195 in Seekonk on Tuesday.

He says a state police hazmat team responded and concluded the samples did not spill or otherwise become compromised.

Another courier picked up the samples to bring them to their destination.
