Driver dies in major vehicle vs. tractor-trailer Andover crash

ANDOVER, Mass. — A fatal crash is currently under investigation after police received reports that a vehicle was involved in an accident with a tractor-trailer on Route 495 in Andover right on the line of Tewksbury late Monday night.

Massachusetts State Troopers responded to the crash at approximately 11:20 p.m. when they came across a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette under the trailer portion of a tractor-trailer.

Preliminary investigation suggests that an adult male was operating a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette southbound when he lost control of his car. Officers believe the operator then struck another vehicle before going under the tractor-trailer that was also going southbound.

MSP told Boston 25 that the operator was pronounced dead at the scene. But officials have yet to release his age, name, and city or town of residence.

Police added that no other motorists were injured in the accident and that the right lane where the crash occurred on Rt. 495 has reopened.

The crash remains under investigation by the State Police-Andover Barracks, Troop A, the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section, the State Police Crime Scene Services Section, and the State Police Detective Unit for Essex County.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
