The crash closed off many exits.

One person was flown to a hospital Monday after a serious crash on Route 1 in Westwood near the exit to I-95.

Westwood police were the first to tweet about the crash at 11:47 p.m., saying that Route 1 was closed in both directions due to a car crash.

A medical helicopter was landing on Route 1, police said, and at least one power line was down as a result of the crash.

A few minutes later, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation tweeted that the crash occurred on Route 1 at the I-95 south exit, and that many exits on Route 1 and I-95 were closed.

Westwood police tweeted that Eversource was on scene to reset a power line a little after 1:30 p.m.

Just before 2:30 p.m., Westwood police tweeted that Route 1 north had been reopened completely and that Route 1 south had a lane open.
