Worcester, MA : 54-year-old Hudson man killed in crash on Interstate 290 in Worcester on Saturday, 20th March 2021

A 54-year-old Hudson man was killed Saturday in a crash on Interstate 290 in Worcester, Massachusetts State Police said.

Troopers responded around 4:40 p.m. Saturday to a report of a single-vehicle crash on I-290 westbound in Worcester.

A preliminary investigation shows a Nissan Rogue heading westbound on the highway “suddenly accelerated in the area of Exit 19, struck the median barrier, then veered right and struck a right-side jersey barrier,” state police said.

The driver, who was the only person in the Nissan, died at the scene. Authorities said just prior to the crash, a trooper was attempting to catch up to the Nissan after other motorists on I-290 reported it was being driven erratically.

The crash remains under investigation.
