A two-vehicle crash with serious personal injury occurred on Interstate 495 South, just south of exit 52 in Haverhill, around 8:05 tonight, according to state police.
Both sides of the highway were closed for well over an hour for the landing of a medical helicopter and investigation.
The cars involved were a snarled mess and appears the occupants of one vehicle needed to be removed with the Jaws of Life.
The vehicles involved are a 1999 Pontiac Grand Am and a 2006 Hyundai Elantra. Reports were that a female alone hit the second car with a male driver and small child. All were sent / flown to Lawrence General Hospital.
My family and I had the misfortune of sitting in traffic less than a thousand yards from the crash site while the state police investigated the scene.
Traffic was reported to be backed up to 95S.
