Two people were seriously injured in a multi-vehicle accident that temporarily shut down Interstate 495 South in Middleborough this morning, State Police said.
Police said a preliminary investigation by police indicated that a 2002 Volkswagen operated by 23-year-old Matthew Wirth of Randolph was traveling on the highway shortly after 8 a.m. when it struck the rear of a tractor-trailer stationary in the breakdown lane. As a result of the crash, a 2007 Toyota Corolla operated by 41-year-old Terrence Brady of Falmouth went off the roadway and into a wooded area.
Wirth was taken by medical helicopter to Boston Medical Center, while Brady was taken to Morton Hospital in Taunton. The operator of the tractor-trailer, Jerry Sanders, 53, of Charlotte, N.C., was not injured.
The crash is under investigation by the State Police. I-495 South was closed for two hours after the crash, and the two left lanes of I-495 North were closed for 45 minutes. All lanes have re-opened.
