A 23-year-old Webster man was killed Friday night in a one-car rollover crash at the Allston-Brighton toll plaza on the eastbound side of the Massachusetts Turnpike, authorities said.

Jesus Munoz was not wearing a seatbelt when his 1997 Acura coupe swerved off the left side of the road, struck a light pole and jersey barriers, and rolled over. The accident happened just before midnight, State Police said in a statement.

Excessive speed may have been a factor in the crash, said Sergeant Dave Mahan, a State Police spokesman.

The accident shut down three lanes on the highway for about two hours.

  1. The toll road takes another victim. At least the turnpike authority gets their nickles and dimes.

  1. Jesse was the craziest and funniest guy i ever met. He was definitely one of a kind along with his besties, and I'll miss our times spent this year. Jesse made an impression that will leave him unforgettable. My heart breaks for his family and for his departure.
    Jesse you will be missed, and I will always have much love for you.

  1. Jesse was a great person. I met him last yearr as he came into my apt. Ready to party... we had some good times ..him maynor my roomates and I. He was always a happy person. Last time I saw him he was playing in chelsea. My last words to him were , "alright it was nice to c u, ill c u around bye"...never did I think that the next time id b seeing him would b at his wake. Its going to be a very hard moment for everyone and my heart goes outt to his family and maynors family who was his second family. Rip Jesse, we will miss you and we will always remember you !!!! Apt 310 will always have its memories of u and with u!!

  1. We love you Tutti! You will be missed dearly. You were a wonderful and very talented man who had big dreams ahead of you. This past weekend was the most horrifing news we all had to bare, and still continue to try to deal with. But I can say we were able to share some funny stories that brought joy to our hearts yet tears to our eyes this weekend. It felt like yesterday when you were here visiting. Soon you will be with us and a very big THANKS to all your your wonderfull freinds in Boston who have so kindly offered to help out your family here is Cali. it is very appreciated. Thank you and we love you for that!!!!

  1. We are so very sad to hear this news! Jesse spent a good part of his teenage years living in my home, when he was dating my daughter, Rachel. We will always have a special place in our hearts for Jesse. Special hugs for Margarita....we know how close you and Jesse are. Your family will remain in our prayers.
