Preliminary investigation by Trooper Michael Best indicates that at about 6:20 a.m. this morning, a 29-year-old Roslindale woman was traveling in the right travel lane on Route 95 Southbound, north of Exit 5 in North Attleboro in a 2010 Toyota Corolla when, for reasons still under investigation, her vehicle traveled into the middle lane, striking a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck. Following that collision, both vehicles traveled to the left, across the median, and entered the northbound travel lanes, striking and/or causing collisions with six other vehicles which included a 2007 Hyundai Tuscon, a 2016 Kia Optima, a 2004 Volvo S40, a 2017 Nissan Rogue, a 2004 Toyota Camry, and a 2005 Honda Odyssey.
