Rhode Islanders injured in 2-vehicle crash on I-495

HOPKINTON, Mass. -- A Rhode Island woman driving south on Interstate 495 in Massachusetts lost control of her Honda minivan, struck a second vehicle and rolled over. Three children and two women were injured.

State police say 37-year-old Ana Rosario, 65-year-old Alida Cruz-Valdez, both of Providence, and a child who was ejected from the vehicle were flown by helicopter to the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in Worcester after the crash about 7:30 a.m. Monday.

The two other children were taken by ambulance to Milford Hospital. The two girls and a boy suffered serious injuries.

Trooper Thomas Murphy says the accident is under investigation. The highway was shut down temporarily, causing long traffic backups, but was cleared about three hours later.
