Police are investigating a serious crash about 1 a.m. on Route 428 in front of the supermarket. A Buick sedan with a lone male driver was northbound on Route 428 when the vehicle apparently went out of control, crossed the center line and went off the road shearing off a fire hydrant, striking a utility pole and then rolling over on its roof.
Fire Rescue worked to stabilize the vehicle and extricate the driver of the extensively damaged sedan. He was then taken by ambulance directly to the helipad at the Hospital and MedFlighted to the medical center in Boston.
The crash knocked out power in the area and utility crews were called to replace the pole and restore service.
