22-year-old Massachusetts man killed in highway crash was college student in Rhode Island

A young man who died in Wednesday morning’s fatal highway crash in Massachusetts is being remembered.

According to Sergeant Gregory Jones, at approximately 6:20 a.m., Massachusetts State Police Troopers from the Milton Barracks responded to a three-car crash on Interstate 95 South at mile marker 25 in Canton.

Sadly, the lone occupant, and operator of a Toyota sedan did not survive his injuries.

The operator was 22-year-old Matthew McTiernan from Marshfield.

According to a GoFundMe fundraiser, McTiernan “was finishing his Bachelor of Science degree in Baking and Pastry Arts at Johnson and Wales University, and was a cherished member of the North River Church with his family. He also leaves behind his true love, Grace Callahan, and countless friends who adored him.”

The crash is still under investigation.
