State Police Investigate Fatal Crash on Route 1 South in Foxborough

Today, at approximately 12:20 a.m. troopers assigned to the State Police Barracks in Foxborough responded to a two-vehicle crash on Route 1 South at Pine Street in Foxborough that resulted in one fatality.

Preliminary investigation by Trooper Michael Tryon indicates 23-year-old Casey A. Hansbury of North Attleboro was operating a 2001 Honda Prelude in the left lane of Route 1 South when she lost control of the vehicle. The Honda collided into the rear of a 2005 Kia Sedona that was traveling in the right lane and was operated by 50-year-old Janice Healey of Attleboro. The Honda spun clockwise and the driver's side of the vehicle collided into a utility pole located on the right shoulder of the roadway at the intersection of Route 1 South and Pine Street. Hansbury was not wearing a safetybelt at the time of the crash, she sustained fatal injuries in the crash and was declared deceased at the scene. Healey and the two passengers in the Kia, 71-year-old Bertha Soule of North Attleboro and 58-year-old Paulette Jameson of Pawtucket RI, were wearing safetybelts at the time of the crash and they were uninjured in the crash.

Although speed does appear to have been a factor in this crash it remains under investigation with the assistance of the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section and the State Police Crime Scene Services Section. The Foxborough Police Department, the Foxborough Fire Department, Mass Highway and the State Police H Troop Investigators assisted troopers at the scene.

Due to the investigation and vehicle recovery both lanes of Route 1 South were closed for approximately 3 ½ hours. Traffic was diverted off Route 1 South at Pine Street.

No further information is available at this time. Please do not call the barracks directly.
