ATTLEBORO — The Attleboro Fire Department responded Sunday evening to a serious crash on Interstate 95 south in the area of Exit 2.
On Sunday, Feb. 8, at approximately 7:26 p.m., the Attleboro Fire Department was called to Interstate 95 south in the area of Exit 2 for a report of a crash.
First responders arrived to find a four-vehicle crash involving six vehicle occupants.
The southbound lanes of the highway were temporarily closed while firefighters used hydraulic tools to free an occupant of one of the vehicles. That occupant was eventually freed, and four individuals were transported to Rhode Island Hospital with injuries. Two people involved in the crash declined treatment.
“The significant damage to the vehicles and the number of patients required careful assessment and triage, along with a complex extrication,” said District Chief Michael Maitland. “Our crews worked efficiently and professionally under dark, cold, and challenging conditions.”
North Attleboro Fire Department and Central Falls Fire Department provided mutual aid assistance at the scene.
Massachusetts State Police are investigating the cause of the crash.
One lane of travel was reopened once all patients were transported.
