Inky Crash May Shut Down Ramp

Several hundreds of gallons of ink splattered [be sure to check out the colorful photo and video] onto the highway this morning, said Joe Ferson, a spokesman for the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. Approximately 16,000 pounds of ink cartridges from Flint Group Inks, an Indianapolis-based company selling printing and packaging products, was bound for a newspaper company in Portland, ME. Red, blue and yellow ink cartridges were inside the truck, but Ferson said there is no evidence the yellow ink was released.

The ink reached two storm drains, but it is not considered a hazardous material.
