I-95 Shut Down After Wrong-Way Crash; 1 Seriously Injured

BOXFORD, MA — Three people were injured - one seriously - in a wrong-way crash on I-95 South that shut down the interstate through Wednesday afternoon. All lanes have been reopened as of 4:15 p.m., but heavy delays persist.

State Police said that around 1:30 p.m. a 54-year-old woman from Bradford was driving on I-95 North when her 2015 Jeep Cherokee, for reasons still unknown, crossed the median into the southbound lanes. The Jeep sideswiped a 2018 Nissan Altima driven by a 68-year-old man from Naples, FL, and struck a 2015 Toyota Corolla driven by a 32-year-old Everett man.

Both sides of I-95 were shut down when a medical helicopter landed to bring the woman driving the Jeep to Boston Medical Center. Police said she sustained life-threatening injuries.

The driver of the Toyota and passenger of the Nissan went to Beverly Hospital with minor injuries. The driver of the Nissan was not injured.

Police are investigating the crash.
