Chaos erupted on Route 495 in Boston when a road rage incident turned violent, resulting in serious injuries for a tractor-trailer driver. According to Massachusetts State Police, the fracas took place on Monday, March 25, 2024, around 1:58 PM, leading to the arrest of two men.
Investigations reveal that the incident occurred on Route 495 south in Bolton. The tractor-trailer driver was allegedly attacked by two male occupants of a Volkswagen GTI hatchback, one of whom reportedly struck him with a hammer. The victim, whose identity has not yet been disclosed, was rushed to Leominster Hospital, where he remains in a serious condition.
The suspects attempted to evade law enforcement by fleeing the scene.

A statement from State Police detailed that a third occupant, a female in the hatchback, was not charged. Meanwhile, one of the male suspects received medical attention for injuries sustained during the altercation at Marlborough Hospital.
