Littleton, MA - Crash on I-495 NB Before Rte 2 Leaves Several Hurt

Littleton, MA (June 28, 2025) – A collision that took place around 5:40 p.m. on June 26 brought emergency responders to the northbound side of Interstate 495 just before Route 2 in Littleton. A white sedan and a black sport utility vehicle were involved in the crash, which blocked the left lanes and caused a backup as first responders worked at the scene.

Police, firefighters, and paramedics arrived quickly to assist those involved. Reports indicate that at least one person suffered injuries serious enough to require transportation to a nearby hospital for additional medical care. Both vehicles sustained visible damage and remained in the roadway while authorities assessed the scene and gathered evidence. Investigators stayed on site into the evening hours to piece together how the crash happened and to ensure the roadway could be cleared safely. The cause of the crash has not yet been confirmed, and local police continue to look into what may have led up to this incident.

We hope all those injured in this accident recover swiftly.

Car Accidents in Massachusetts

Motor vehicle accidents like this are far too common on highways throughout Massachusetts. State crash data shows thousands of injury crashes each year, putting families through unexpected hardship. Staying alert, driving defensively, and knowing where to turn for help are crucial steps for anyone on the road in Massachusetts. After an accident, you do not have to face the legal and financial aftermath alone.

Understanding common injuries can help you recognize when to seek medical care. Here are a few that victims may face after a highway crash:

• Whiplash and Neck Injuries: These injuries are especially common in rear-end or side-impact collisions. Whiplash can cause significant pain and stiffness that may last for months. Some people require physical therapy and pain management to regain mobility and comfort.

• Broken Bones: Fractures often occur when the force of the crash impacts arms, legs, ribs, or hips. A broken bone can keep someone out of work, limit daily activities, and require costly surgeries or rehabilitation to heal properly.

• Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): A blow to the head during an accident can lead to a concussion or more severe brain trauma. TBIs affect concentration, mood, and memory, sometimes causing life-long effects. Proper diagnosis and follow-up care are vital.

• Spinal Cord Damage: High-impact crashes can injure the spine, resulting in partial or full paralysis. These injuries are among the most life-changing, demanding specialized treatment, assistive devices, and long-term medical support.

• Internal Organ Injuries: Seat belts and blunt force impact can cause internal bleeding or organ damage that isn’t always obvious right away. Prompt medical care can be life-saving if internal injuries are suspected after a crash.
