A driver was flown to Boston with “serious injuries” following a crash with a tractor-trailer in Newbury that closed a portion of the roadway to traffic for hours Thursday, fire officials said.
The Newbury Fire Department responded to a report of a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 95 north near the on-ramp to Central Street and exit 88 around 3:45 p.m. on Thursday.
Arriving on the scene, firefighters identified a tractor-trailer and a car that appeared to have been involved in the crash, officials said.
Traffic was limited to one lane as police and fire officials investigated the scene.
Crews removed the driver of the car with hydraulic cutting tools, officials said, and they were flown to a Boston hospital by medical helicopter with what are believed to be serious injuries.
On Friday, Newbury Fire Chief David Evans said the driver had undergone multiple surgeries, but their condition remains unknown.
Traffic reopened on the highway in all directions around 6 p.m.
Thursday night.
Massachusetts State Police are investigating the cause of the accident.
