Essex Co., MA – Two-Vehicle Crash on I-495 N at Rte 93

Essex County, MA (August 17, 2025) – A two-vehicle crash happened on Sunday morning, August 17, on Interstate 495 northbound near the Route 93 interchange in Essex County. The accident occurred in the high-speed lane at approximately 8:23 a.m., prompting a response from state authorities and local emergency crews.

According to radio dispatch, the collision involved two vehicles, though the extent of the damage and the number of individuals injured remain unclear. Because of the severity of the crash, a mutual aid ambulance was requested to assist at the scene. Fire and rescue units were also dispatched to manage traffic and provide medical aid.

Traffic delays were expected in the area as responders worked to clear the high-speed lane and ensure the safety of motorists. Officials have not yet confirmed whether any drivers or passengers were transported to the hospital.

The cause of the collision is still under investigation. High-speed lane crashes on major interstates are often linked to speeding, following too closely, or sudden lane changes, though other factors such as distracted or impaired driving may also play a role.

We wish those hurt a rapid recovery.

Legal Options After a Massachusetts Car Accident

Highway collisions, particularly those that occur at high speeds, can result in devastating injuries such as whiplash, broken bones, head trauma, and internal injuries. Victims of these

crashes often face significant medical bills, extended time away from work, and long-term rehabilitation needs.

In Massachusetts, victims injured in motor vehicle accidents may have the right to pursue compensation for their losses. This can include recovery for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering. When multiple vehicles are involved, determining liability can be complex, requiring careful review of police reports, traffic camera footage, and witness testimony.

Insurance companies may attempt to minimize payouts by disputing the extent of injuries or shifting blame. An experienced car accident lawyer can help level the playing field by negotiating directly with insurers and, if necessary, pursuing claims in court.
