Car Drives Head-On Into Guardrail In Medford

MEDFORD, MA – A driver escaped injury after crashing into a guardrail in Medford Sunday night, according to the fire department. The car drove head-on into the guardrail separating the Exit 33 off-ramp from the highway on I-93 South.

"Miraculously the driver walked away from the wreck without any injuries," the Medford Fire Department said in a statement.
