State Police Investigate Fatal Crash on Route 93 North in Wilmington

Yesterday at approximately 11:56 PM, Troopers assigned to the State Police Barracks in Andover responded to a report of a single vehicle crash on Route 93 North in Wilmington that resulted in one fatality.

Preliminary investigation by Trooper James Foley indicates that a 2007 GMC Sierra pickup truck being operated by 27 year old Nicholas Guliano of North Andover, MA, was traveling north on Route 93 in Wilmington near Lowell Street. The vehicle lost control, went off the right side of the roadway, struck a guardrail and then struck a bridge support pillar. Guliano, who was the only occupant, sustained serious injuries and was transported to Lahey Clinic, where he was later pronounced deceased.

Although heavy rain and the wet roadway may have been factors, 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 Wilmington Police, EMS and MassHighway assisted Troopers at the scene.

Due to the investigation, the right two travel lanes of Route 93 North were closed for approximately three hours.

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