ATTLEBORO — On Sunday, February 1, 2026, at about 5:35 a.m., the Attleboro Fire Department was dispatched to Interstate 95 North near mile marker 4 following a report of a motor vehicle crash with entrapment.
According to Attleboro Fire Chief Scott Lachance, crews arrived to find three vehicles involved in the crash — one in the median and two on the shoulder of the highway.
Firefighters used hydraulic rescue tools to free a woman in her 30s who was trapped in one of the vehicles. She was transported to Rhode Island Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
A second vehicle, operated by a man in his 20s, was located off the roadway in a snowbank among a patch of trees. Firefighters cleared nearby branches to safely reach the vehicle and extricate the man, who was also transported to Rhode Island Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
The third patient, a woman in her 50s, exited her vehicle on her own. She was taken to Sturdy Memorial Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
“We were receiving multiple calls reporting this crash at different locations along the highway,” District Chief Michael Maitland said. “Out of an abundance of caution, we deployed additional crews along with Massachusetts State Police to check other areas of I-95 to ensure there were no additional incidents. No other crashes were found. Our firefighters operated quickly and methodically in challenging conditions to safely reach and remove the trapped occupants and ensure everyone received medical attention.”
During the response, the breakdown lane and two travel lanes were temporarily closed to provide a safe work area for emergency personnel. Chief Lachance said.
Crews cleared the scene at approximately 6:50 a.m. No firefighter injuries were reported.
The North Attleborough Fire Department provided mutual aid on scene.
The crash remains under investigation by Massachusetts State Police.
