WESTON, Mass. (AP) — In Massachusetts, the answer to "Where's the beef?" is a toll plaza on the turnpike.

State police say a truck struck a toll booth and was rear-ended by another truck before both tipped over at about 2:30 a.m. Monday at the toll plaza in Weston, about 15 miles west of Boston. A third truck and a car were also involved.

Some slabs of beef that one of the trucks was transporting spilled onto the road.

Lt. David Wilson says a truck driver suffered minor injuries.

Turnpike Authority spokesman Colin Durrant (der-ANT') says traffic is being waved through the toll plaza without paying, and the mess should be cleaned up by noon.

The crash remains under investigation.
