FRAMINGHAM, MA — State police have identified the Framingham man who died on Christmas Eve morning in a single-vehicle crash along I-495 in Hopkinton.

In an update on Tuesday, state police did not release details about what caused the crash.

Gaudet was the only person in his truck, and the only driver involved in the crash. He was pronounced dead after the incident at UMass Memorial in Worcester.

Gaudet was driving home from work as a corrections officer at the prison in Shirley when he crashed. A GoFundMe page set up for him says he hit a patch of ice while riding along the highway.
