Overnight Highway Crashes in Massachusetts
Late-night and early-morning hours on major highways like I-93 can be particularly hazardous due to reduced visibility, driver fatigue, and the potential presence of impaired motorists. In Boston, the stretch near Columbia Rd is a busy connector that can still see moderate traffic even outside peak hours. According to state transportation data, crashes during overnight hours often result in more severe injuries because of higher travel speeds and delayed detection. While investigators continue to review the details of Sunday morning’s crash, the incident is a timely reminder to drive defensively, maintain safe speeds, and remain alert, especially when traveling at night.
