HORRIFIC WEEKEND CRASH: MASSACHUSETTS PD OFFERS ADVICE WHICH COULD...

[BPD MEDIA STATEMENT]

[Saturday] evening, the Boxborough Police Department and Boxborough Fire Department responded to a motor vehicle crash on I-495 South.

A van was disabled in the break down lane and the operator remained inside of the vehicle. She observed a tractor trailer approaching quickly from the rear while travelling in the break down lane, and was able to exit the van prior to impact from the rear by the tractor trailer.

We are happy to report that her quick thinking saved her life, and she is free of injury.

Please remember that if you break down on the highway to exit your vehicle and seek shelter behind a guardrail if possible!

It could save your life!
