ATTLEBORO, MASS. (WHDH) - An investigation is underway after state troopers responded to two deadly vehicle incidents on Interstate 95 on Monday.
Troopers responding to a report of a body on the southbound side of the roadway near Exit 1 in Attleboro about 9:45 p.m. declared the victim, identified as a 50-year-old man, dead at the scene, according to state police.
A preliminary investigation suggests the victim was a pedestrian who was struck by a hit-and-run driver.
At about the same time, troopers responding to a reported crash near Exit 5 on I-95 northbound in North Attleboro found a vehicle that had rolled over into the woods and declared the sole occupant of that vehicle, a 19-year-old Attleboro man, dead.
It’s unclear if the two incidents are related.
The facts and circumstances of both incidents are being investigated by Troop H of the Massachusetts State Police, the State Police Crime Scene Services Section, the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section, and the State Police Detective Unit for Bristol County.
