This past week, a four vehicle car accident occurred on Route 2 in Lexington. The accident occurred around 2:30 p.m., when a vehicle headed eastbound crossed over the median into oncoming westbound traffic.
The vehicle then collided head –on with three automobiles driving in the westbound lanes on Route 2. The accident occurred at a high rate of speed. The driver of the vehicle which crossed the median and struck the other cars was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to state police, another individual involved in the accident was in “very bad shape” and was transported to the hospital for treatment of the injuries sustained in the collision. Reportedly, all but one of the people involved in the four-car accident were transported to the hospital. The one individual that was not taken to the hospital was able to walk and was treated at the scene.
As a result of the fatal car crash, the westbound lanes on Route 2 were closed for approximately three hours. It was not until 5:30 p.m. that Massachusetts State Police were able to re-open the Lexington highway. The traffic was disrupted so badly that state police troopers were advising drivers to turn around and not get onto Route 2.
The accident is currently under investigation.
