OPEN RECORDS SUMMARY :

On 06/20/2026, a Massachusetts State Police trooper attempted to stop a vehicle traveling westbound on Interstate 90. According to police, the driver initially pulled over but then accelerated away as the trooper approached the vehicle. A BOLO was issued, and approximately two minutes later troopers observed the vehicle traveling south in the northbound lanes of Route 146 in Millbury. Troopers deployed stop sticks in an attempt to stop the vehicle, but the driver continued traveling the wrong way before crashing head-on into another vehicle between the on- and off-ramps at Exit 17. The driver, identified only as a Connecticut man in his 20s, died from his injuries at the scene. The driver of the other vehicle sustained non-life-threatening injuries. The investigation remains ongoing.
