Due to the traffic jam, ambulance vehicles experienced trouble entering and exiting the hospital garages and many patients were late for scheduled appointments.

This hospital expects to experience further possible delays Wednesday morning during a parade for the New England Patriots to celebrate their Super Bowl victory.
