Wrentham, MA : 2 killed, 1 seriously injured in single-vehicle crash on I-495 in Wrentham on Monday, December 29, 2014

Massachusetts State Police are investigating a fatal crash involving a pickup truck on Route 495 Southbound in Wrentham early Monday morning.

Two passengers - a 22 year old woman and a 24 year old man, both from Massachusetts - were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver - a 23 year old Massachusetts man attempted to rescue the others once he was outside the vehicle before he was air lifted to Rhode Island Hospital for traumatic injuries and serious burns.

The crash happened at approximately 12:18 a.m. near Exit 15. According to state police: "the pickup truck was traveling south on Route 495 in the center lane, approaching Exit 15. For reasons still under investigation, it veered left, crossed the left lane and the shoulder of the road, and struck the end-cap of a section of guardrail separating the highway from the median strip. Evidence suggests the truck impacted several sections of guardrail and was redirected back across the left travel lane, rolled over across the center lane, and came to rest on its wheels in the center and right lanes. The investigation indicates that during the collision, the Chevrolet's fuel tank was compromised and the truck became engulfed in flames."

The southbound side of Route 495 between Exits 15 and 16 was closed until about 4 a.m. when all lanes were reopened.

Police are still trying to determine the cause of the accident.
