By Globe Staff
One man is dead and one is facing a motor vehicle homicide charge after a crash early this morning on Interstate 93 southbound in Canton.
State Police say a 1994 Toyota pickup truck was struck by a 2001 Hyundai hatchback at about 1 a.m. at the Exit 2A offramp to Route 138.
The Toyota rolled over, and its driver, 71-year-old Alphonso Anderson of Brockton, was ejected. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The operator of the Hyundai sustained minor injuries and was taken to Norwood Hospital. Ryan M. Shaughnessy, 23, of Wrentham, was then taken to the State Police barracks in Framingham. He faces charges of drunken driving and motor vehicle homicide, police said in a statement.
Because of the accident, the highway was closed down for about four hours this morning, police said.
