State Police Respond to Crash involving a Boat on Route 128 South in Burlington

Today at about 12:15 p.m. state police personnel responded to Route 128 South, north of Exit 32 in Burlington to investigate a one vehicle crash that involved a 30 & ½ foot Bayliner boat falling off the back of a boat trailer. The boat trailer was being pulled by a Ford F-450 being driven by Scott A. Langevin, age 37 of Millbury, Massachusetts.

The preliminary investigation by Trooper Timothy Burns indicates the following: Scott Langevin lost control of the Ford F-450 and the boat it was towing while he was driving south on Route 128 in Burlington. The boat subsequently overturned and came to final rest in the middle travel lane, the right travel lane and the breakdown lane of Route 128 South just north of Exit 32. Scott Langevin did not sustain any injuries.

Members of the State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Section, the State Police Crime Scene Services Section, the Massachusetts Highway Department and two towing companies assisted troopers at the scene. Initially, only the left travel lane of Route 128 South was open near the crash scene. The entire roadway was reopened at about 1:55 p.m. There was a small gasoline spill from the boat that was cleaned up prior to the road reopening.

The cause of this crash remains under investigation. Please do not contact the barracks directly. No further information is currently available for disclosure.
