Unofficial mayor killed in fatal Massachusetts multi-vehicle highway crash remembered for Catholic faith, volunteering

Family members are remembering the victim of a fatal Massachusetts multi-vehicle highway crash on Thursday.

According to Massachusetts State Police, at just after 6:15 p.m., Troopers from the Medford Barracks responded to a five-vehicle crash on Interstate 93 north prior to exit 25 in Medford.

While the circumstances of the crash remain under investigation by the State Police, preliminary information indicates that a Toyota Camry struck four vehicles. One of the vehicles, a Ford F350, overturned into the wood line adjacent to the road and the operator was pronounced dead at the scene.

The crash required officials to close northbound side of the Interstate for two hours when one lane became available to pass. Traffic resumed normally shortly before 11:00 p.m.

In addition to Troopers from the Medford Barracks, State Police deployed members assigned to the Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section, the Crime Scene Services Section, Troop A Detectives, and the Troop A Community Action Team. Medford Police, Fire, and EMS also provided assistance.

The decedent is identified as 34-year-old Fredis Seravia-Corvera of Revere.

Known as the unofficial mayor, Fredis and his wife Yulisa made the significant decision to move to the United States in 2022, where he transitioned into landscaping with his family here. According to an obituary, a devout Catholic, Fredis was always involved in church and community events. He believed in giving back and could often be found volunteering,

A GoFundMe fundraiser has been created to send Fredis’ body back to El Salvador.

The crash remains under investigation by the State Police.
