A Massachusetts man was arrested concerning a highway crash that injured 2 people.

According to Tim McGuirk, Interim Director of Media Relations, at approximately 2:30 a.m., Massachusetts State Police responded to a serious crash on the MassPike (I-90) west at the Beacon Street Overpass in Boston.

At the time of the crash, the left lane was open for travel while the center and right lanes were closed to accommodate construction work.

First responders discovered a Nissan Pathfinder that entered the work zone and struck an elevated scissor lift with two workers on board.

Boston EMS responded to the scene and transported the two workers to local hospitals with serious injuries.

For the safety of motorists, investigators, and highway workers, officials closed all westbound lanes until shortly before 4 a.m. when the scene was cleared.

The operator of the Nissan Pathfinder, identified as 32-year-old Pedro Campos of Wellesley Hills, was arrested for operating under the influence of liquor and negligent operation. He is expected to be arraigned at Brighton District Court on Monday.

In addition to members of Troop H, the State Police Collision Analysis & Reconstruction Section and the State Police Crime Scene Services Section responded to the scene.
