A wrong-way crash left a Norton man dead and a 21-year-old Barnstable woman seriously injured early Thanksgiving Day on southbound Route 495 in Plainville, according to Massachusetts State Police.
Troopers received reports of a wrong-way driver on Route 495, between Exits 13 and 14, about 2 a.m. Thursday. When troopers arrived on the scene, the Toyota Corolla that had been headed the wrong way had crashed into an oncoming vehicle, State Police spokesman Dave Procopio said in a statement.
The man driving the wrong-way car died in the crash. The woman driving the other car was transported to Rhode Island Hospital with a serious injury, Procopio said.
