One Dead After Wrong-Way Crash On I-290 In Northborough
State police said the wrong-way driver hit another vehicle and caused serious injuries, with at least one person hospitalized.
- A wrong-way driver died in a fiery head-on collision on Interstate 290 in Northborough late Wednesday night after State Police received multiple 911 calls reporting the vehicle traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes shortly before 9 p.m.
- The Northborough incident marks the latest in a series of wrong-way crashes across Massachusetts, following the death of Massachusetts State Police Trooper Kevin Trainor last month in Lynnfield when responding to a wrong-way driver.
- Firefighters battled flames engulfing a Subaru and a Jeep, using 2,000 gallons of water to extinguish the fire. The Jeep driver survived with "non-life-threatening injuries," while Jeffrey Bowman, 27, of Southington, Connecticut, the wrong-way driver, was pronounced dead at the scene.
- Massachusetts State Police and Worcester District Attorney Joseph Early Jr.'s office are investigating the fatality. Interstate 290 eastbound closed at Exit 24 for several hours; the highway reopened early Thursday morning after crews completed the investigation.
- Governor Maura Healey recently unveiled a multi-year initiative to combat wrong-way driving, installing detection technology and updated signage at more than 500 high-risk locations statewide, including over 400 thermal detection camera systems.
