Lincoln man dies in I-195 wreck in Seekonk
Single-vehicle crash happened Saturday
SEEKONK — Massachusetts State Police troopers from two different barracks responded to fatal crashes in Seekonk and Peabody in the span of an hour Saturday night.
The first crash occurred around 6:10 p.m. on Interstate 195 eastbound at the 2.6 mile-marker in Seekonk. Troopers from the Dartmouth barracks found a 2003 Dodge truck had been heading eastbound on the highway when the driver exited the left lane and went into the median.
It is still not determined why the vehicle struck the median.
Police identified the victim, who was found in his vehicle, as Chad L. Jackvony, 26, of Lincoln.
It was determined that his death was a result of injuries sustained from the single-vehicle crash.
The left travel lane was closed during the incident and remained closed for the reconstruction of the crash.
The remaining facts and circumstances of the crash are currently under investigation.
The pickup was heavily damaged, and appeared to have rolled over. Seekonk firefighters extricated the victim.
The State Police Collision Analysis Reconstruction Section, State Police Crime Scene Services Section, Seekonk Police and Fire,
State Medical Examiner’s Office, and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation assisted.
About an hour later, troopers from the Danvers barracks were called to Route 1
northbound in Peabody for reports of a rollover crash. The call came in around 7:05 p.m. A 2002 Toyota Avalon driven by a Peabody man was heading northbound on the highway when it left the roadway and rolled over, State Police said.
The driver, Michael F. Keddie, was taken to a local hospital, where he died.
