(Photo by Massachusetts State Police) STURBRIDGE (CBS) '€” State police say a tractor-trailer carrying more than 1,200 propane tanks was struck by an erratic driver of another tractor-trailer on Interstate 84 East at the Massachusetts-Connecticut line on Thursday morning. The driver parked there because he wanted to let police know about an erratic driver he saw minutes earlier. Coincidentally, the erratic driver rear-ended the parked tractor-trailer hauling 1,224 full Blue Rhino tanks, which were scattered across the highway, police say. Before the crash, the driver of the propane tractor-trailer had pulled over into the breakdown lane after seeing a Trooper in the median. That driver suffered minor injuries and was taken to an area hospital.
