ANDOVER, Mass. — A driver who allegedly caused a crash on Interstate 93 in Andover before trying to run away from the scene on Tuesday morning was later arrested on OUI charges, authorities said.
Troopers responding to a report of a crash on the northbound side of the highway near Dascomb Road around 6:30 a.m. found multiple vehicles involved in a wreck, according to Massachusetts State Police.
State police said initial reports indicate the driver was changing lanes when they struck a tractor-trailer and a pickup truck.
“The driver of the vehicle that struck the others then reportedly attempted to flee the crash on foot, before being found by patrol units,” a state police spokesperson said in a statement.
The driver, whose name wasn’t immediately available, is facing charges including leaving the scene of a crash with property damage, marked lanes violations, negligent operation of a motor vehicle, and operating under the influence.
The crash prompted a large emergency response and caused lengthy delays on the busy highway during the morning commute.
An investigation is ongoing.
