NEEDHAM, MA - Three people, including a Needham woman were injured in a car crash in Westwood Monday night, police said.

At about 9:35 p.m., State Police responded to a two-car crash on Interstate 95 North near University Avenue in Westwood. A preliminary investigation indicates that a 2015 Honda CRV was traveling north on the highway when it was struck from behind by a 2002 Honda Odyssey, which was also traveling north at the time. Both vehicles then struck the steel guardrail before coming to rest on the right side of the roadway.

The operator of the Odyssey, a 33-year-old man from Westwood, reportedly had no pulse at the scene. Sergeant Pardo Montago immediately began CPR and continued until Westwood EMS arrived. The man was then transported to Norwood Hospital with serious injuries.

A passenger in the Odyssey, a 53-year-old man from Waltham, and the operator of the CRV, a 55-year-old woman from Needham, were both transported to Beth Israel Hospital in Needham with minor injuries.

This crash remains under investigation. No charges have been filed at this time.
