A tractor-trailor truck slammed through the median of Interstate 495 in Milford last night, killing the driver and a 40-year-old Stoughton resident who was driving on the opposite side, state police said.

The 2007 Infinity truck driven by Rodney L. Gladle, 50, of Laconia, N.H. was in the northbound passing lane of Interstate 495 at about 8:19 p.m. when he lost control of the vehicle, drove through the median and struck a 1991 Honda Civic driven by Yu Hui.

Gladle was pronounced dead on the scene and Hui died later at Milford Hospital. The accident remains under investigation, state police said in a statement.
