Investigation Into The Interstate 95 Attleboro Accident: A fatal crash on Interstate 95 in Attleboro, Massachusetts on the morning of March 4, 2026 has turned into an ongoing investigation by authorities after claiming the life of a 43‑year‑old Mansfield man, Chad Askew.
According to the Massachusetts State Police and Attleboro Police Department, emergency responders were called to I‑95 north just before Exit 4 shortly before 6:00 a.m. Wednesday after a serious collision involving a Honda sedan and a tractor‑trailer trailer.
When police arrived, they found the passenger car severely damaged beneath the trailer. The driver — later identified as Chad Askew of Mansfield — suffered major, life‑threatening injuries. He was given emergency care at the scene and then transported to Sturdy Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Officials say no drivers were immediately located at the scene of either tractor‑trailer, and investigators are still working to determine how the crash unfolded and what factors may have contributed to the deadly collision.
The crash caused significant disruptions during the morning commute, with lanes temporarily closed as first responders and highway crews cleared the scene. Authorities continue to seek witness accounts and any surveillance or dash‑cam video that could help piece together the events leading up to the tragedy.
As the Massachusetts State Police investigation continues, community members and drivers in the area are reminded to exercise caution on I‑95 and report any information related to the crash to local law enforcement
