According to investigators, a construction crew with an arrow board trailer were attempting to get off the highway heading north when the trailer came free.

That’s when authorities say it hit the Jeep, which was traveling south. The vehicle lost control and rolled nearly five times, according to what witnesses told police.

The highway was closed in both directions for nearly 90 minutes.

The Massachusetts State Police Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Unit was asked to the scene.
