An individual lost their life in a vehicle collision on Interstate 95 in Foxboro, Massachusetts, early Saturday morning. The fatal event took place on the northbound side of the highway, near Exit 15, as reported by a Boston 25 spokesperson from the Massachusetts State Police. The aftermath of the crash evidenced a severely damaged vehicle being loaded onto a tow truck, and indications suggest multiple vehicles may have been involved.
In an act of emergency response, a nurse who was passing by the accident scene provided medical assistance to the victim; however, the individual succumbed to their injuries. "We would like to praise a nurse who arrived on the scene and used their training and skill to render aid," state police said in a statement obtained by Boston 25. The northbound traffic was halted following the crash, causing extensive delays for miles.
Investigators from the Norfolk District Attorney’s Office have taken the lead in unravelling the circumstances of the collision. While the person’s identity has yet to be disclosed, officials continue their inquiry into the series of events that led to this tragic outcome.
By 9:50 a.m., according to MassLive, traffic maps indicated the reopening of both northbound and southbound lanes of I-95 following the incident. The nurse's timely intervention before the arrival of other emergency personnel emphasized the importance of first responders in the aftermath of such unanticipated tragedies. "We would like to praise a nurse who arrived on scene and used their training and skill to render aid," the department praised the good Samaritan in a statement echoed by both Boston 25 and MassLive.
