Devin Arroyo entered the northbound lanes driving south just after midnight in Hopkinton, Massachusetts State Police said. Troopers said he was intoxicated when he made this deadly error. Moments later, his 2018 Ford Transit van collided head-on with a man driving an Infiniti. A tractor-trailer couldn't stop in time and slammed into the back of the crashed car, police said.
Responders rushed the Infiniti to UMass-Worcester, where doctors pronounced him dead, authorities said. Troopers did not release the man's name. Arroyo also went to the hospital for minor injuries, where troopers arrested him for operating under the influence of liquor, authorities said. The 41-year-old tractor-trailer driver from Providence was not injured in the crash.
Troopers closed the northbound lanes of I-495 for nearly five hours as they investigated the scene and cleaned up the wreckage.
Police are still investigating the crash.
