Authorities identified a man who died Wednesday after his SUV caught fire on the ramp from Interstate 93 to Interstate 90 following a crash, Massachusetts State Police announced.
Casey Brown, 31, of Plymouth, was pronounced dead by first responders after they arrived at the crash site, State Police said in a statement released Thursday.
On Wednesday morning, a 2004 Dodge Durango drove down the Massachusetts Avenue Connector toward Frontage Road before it hit a concrete barrier at the intersection with Frontage Road, State Police said. The Dodge then fell over 40 feet before it landed on the tracks below, the Boston Fire Department said in a post on X.
The Dodge caught fire and came to rest on the exit 16 offramp from Interstate 93 to Interstate 90, State Police said.
Along with several ramps along the I-93 and I-90 exchange, Frontage Road at the South Boston Bypass and the Mass Ave Connector to Frontage Road northbound were closed for several hours, State Police added.
The crash remains under investigation.
