Fatal Crash on I‑95 in Foxborough Under Investigation by State Police
A fatal car crash took place on Saturday, July 5, on Interstate 95 in Foxborough, resulting in the death of one individual. The incident happened on the northbound side of the highway, just before Exit 17, and led to a full closure of that section of the road for several hours while police conducted their investigation.
According to reports, emergency responders were dispatched shortly after the crash occurred. Massachusetts State Police, Foxborough Fire and EMS, and other public safety teams worked the scene while investigators collected evidence to determine the cause of the accident.
An off-duty nurse happened to be nearby at the time of the crash and provided immediate aid to the victim. Despite those efforts, the individual did not survive. Authorities have not released the name of the deceased out of respect for the family’s privacy.
State Police units specializing in crash reconstruction were also called to the scene. They are currently reviewing all available information to understand what led to the collision, including vehicle data, road conditions, and possible contributing factors.
The crash caused significant traffic delays along the I‑95 corridor, with many drivers rerouted for most of the morning and early afternoon. The highway was reopened once the scene was cleared and deemed safe for travel.
