A Massachusetts man recently killed in a highway crash is being remembered.

 Upon the arrival of Troopers, all three lanes of travel were closed to facilitate life-saving efforts of involved vehicle occupants. The operator of a 2022 Toyota Highlander, a 36-year-old man from Springfield, succumbed to injuries sustained in the crash. The crash also involved a 2022 Ford F650, operated by a 45-year-old man from North Easton, and a 2020 Kenworth tractor-trailer, operated by a 31-year-old man from Hallandale, Fla. The operator of the Ford was transported to an area hospital with minor injuries. The operator of the tractor-trailer was not injured.

 According to those who knew him, Luis Sanchez was the 36-year-old from Springfield killed in the crash.

A GoFundMe fundraiser organized by his co-workers to aid his family states that Sanchez brought so much joy to their lives, and he will be greatly missed.

Sanchez was a married retail account manager for IDT Corporation and enjoyed playing softball. He also loved his family and friends.
