Andover teenager killed in Lawrence crash
An 18-year-old Andover woman died after crashing into a trailer on Interstate 495 northbound in Lawrence Thursday night.
The woman, whose name has not been released by authorities, was driving a 2005 GMC Envoy SUV on I-495 northbound in Lawrence when she struck a fifth-wheel camper attached to a 2022 Dodge Ram pickup truck and lost control of her vehicle, according to the Massachusetts State Police. Troopers responded to the scene north of exit 100B at 9:17 p.m. Thursday.
The woman was ejected from the SUV and onto the roadway where other vehicles drove over her body, according to the MSP. The vehicle left the interstate to the east, went over a curb and guardrail, rolled down a steep slope and caught on fire.
The 17-year-old male passenger was also ejected from the car at some point but survived, suffering only minor head injuries. Two teenage female passengers in the back seats, 15 and 16 years old, also suffered minor injuries. All three were transported to Lawrence General Hospital.
The driver of the Dodge pickup, a 28-year-old man from Du Bois, Pa., had no apparent injuries, according to an MSP statement.
