Mass. State Police trooper hospitalized after cruiser flips on highway
A trooper was hospitalized after his cruiser flipped on the highway in Tewksbury on Wednesday night.
The crash happened just before 7 p.m. on the southbound side of Interstate 495, according to Massachusetts State Police.
A trooper had been driving in his cruiser just before the Lowell Connector to respond to another crash on the highway when he crashed, and his cruiser overturned, police said.
The trooper was able to get out of the crashed cruiser and was brought to the hospital by ambulance, police said. The trooper is expected to survive from his injuries.
The crash caused part of I-495 to close on Wednesday night, though all lanes have since reopened. The crash is under investigation 'in accordance with department policy,' state police said.
