The cause of this crash remains under investigation. No charges have been filed at this time. Waltham Police and Waltham EMS also assisted at the scene.

The left travel lanes on the northbound and southbound sides were closed for about 30 minutes.

The identity of the victim is being withheld pending family notification.
