I-495 crash injures woman, closes northbound lane

July 10, 2009 02:09 PM

Interstate 495 was temporarily closed for an airlift at about 9 a.m. today after a female driver veered off the northbound side of the road, crashing into a tree just south of Exit 18 in Bellingham, State Police Lieutenant Eric Anderson said.

The left lane of I-495 north is still closed for a crash investigation.

All lanes were closed for about 10 minutes after the accident, when a helicopter needed to land on the southbound lanes to airlift the injured driver. Injuries were "very serious," Anderson said.

All southbound lanes are back open.
