Workers from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation were called in to remove them. They could be seen loading the carts, which were roughly the height of the workers themselves, into a trailer on a pickup truck.

It was not immediately clear how the carts wound up on the highway. An Amazon spokesperson confirmed to NBC10 Boston that the carts had been removed and that the company was working with police and MassDOT on the investigation.
