Highway Crash

State Police and emergency crews are speeding toward 495 north near 93 in Andover for a report of a rollover accident with ejection starting about 5:40 p.m.

No one at the scene yet. I'm staying tuned.

Andover is out of the coverage area, but I always track accidents there since so many locals travel that route.

UPDATE: Trooper is at scene and said two EMT's and a doctor are there. They're all saying one of the guy's is going to need MedFlight. No more info on injuries, though.

So far state police have two callers saying the car involved and another car were racing northbound when the crash occurred.

Both said the other car was a Pontiac GTO, but one caller described it as orange and the other described it as gold. Both said it was going too fast to get a plate, and that it didn't stop when the crash occurred.

UPDATE: MedFlight taking off soon, as of 5:58, it has a 10 minute ETA and will be landing on on the southbound lanes of the highway.

It sounds like they're calling for reconstruction and photo now too, so expect some backups on this portion of the road for a few hours.
From what I heard the car had New Hampshire plates, and the driver had a Florida license, so probably not someone local, though a passenger had a Massachusetts license, so we'll see.

I'll check this one later tonight.

UPDATE: MedFlight is on the ground now at 6:08 p.m., according to radio broadcasts, but I probably won't update again until later tonight when I get more information from police. No more radio updates.

UPDATE: I'm going to leave this one as is. Sounds like neither person was from this area. Closest was from Haverhill.
