Lawrence, MA : 2 dead in head-on, wrong-way crash on I-495 in Lawrence on Wednesday, 5th December 2018

A 38-year-old woman and a 56-year-old man, both from Lawrence, are dead after state police say the 2016 Kia Sportage the woman was driving on I-495 Wednesday crossed from the southbound side into northbound traffic and struck multiple vehicles, including the one the male victim was in.

Police were called to the crash just south of Exit 42A on the Andover and Lawrence municipal line at 11:52 a.m.

When the Kia first crossed onto the wrong side of the highway, it sideswiped a 2004 Ford F350; the 59-year-old man from Dracut who was driving that vehicle wasn’t injured.

The Kia then struck a 2003 Honda Pilot head on, police said. The 56-year-old male victim was a passenger in this vehicle; it was being driven by a 55-year-old woman, also of Lawrence, who was taken to Lawrence General Hospital with “serious injuries.”
