State Police Investigate Serious Crash on Route 95 in Salisbury

Yesterday, August 11, 2007, at approximately 7:24 p.m. troopers assigned to the State Police Barracks in Newbury responded to a one-vehicle crash on the ramp from Route 95 North to Route 286 (exit 60) in Salisbury that resulted in one serious injury.

Preliminary investigation by Trooper Joshua Ulrich indicates 19-year old Stephen M. Boy of Newburyport was operating a 2005 Honda Civic on Route 95 North and attempted to take the ramp to Route 286 when he lost control of the vehicle and traveled off the left shoulder of roadway and into the wood-line. Boy was not wearing his seatbelt at the time of the crash and was partially ejected from the vehicle. He sustained serious injuries in the crash and was transported by medical helicopter to Beth Israel Hospital.

This crash remains under investigation with the assistance of the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section and the State Police Crime Scene Services Section. The Salisbury Police Department, the Salisbury Fire Department and Mass Highway assisted troopers at the scene.

All lanes of Route 95 North were closed for approximately one hour for the landing of the medical helicopter and transport of the operator. Due to the investigation and vehicle recovery the ramp from Route 95 North to Route 286 was closed for approximately two hours.

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