A tow truck driver was killed in a wreck Thursday night on Interstate 495 in Wareham after being ejected from the truck, State Police said.
The driver apparently was not wearing a seat belt when he lost control of the tow truck, hit a vehicle stopped in the breakdown lane, rolled over, and rammed a bridge, State Police said. The driver of the stopped vehicle was taken to Tobey Hospital for what State Police described as precautionary reasons.
The crash occurred at 10:15 p.m. on southbound I-495 near the intersection with Route 25. The flatbed tow truck had been hauling another vehicle at the time.
State Police did not release the names of the people involved because their families had not yet been notified. The crash remains under investigation.
