In a terrifying incident that happened in Boston on Wednesday morning, a motorist lost his life when his flaming SUV crashed through a chain link fence and tumbled 40 feet down to the road below.
Around 10 a.m., it took place close to Interstate 93 in Widett Circle.
According to Boston Fire Commissioner Paul Burke, the car was on fire when it crashed through a fence on the Massachusetts Avenue connector and came to rest on the expressway’s exit 16 off ramp.
“We’re fortunate that there was no car underneath when it came down from the overpass, that it didn’t hit another vehicle,” Burke stated, saying that “there’s nothing left” of the large SUV.
According to the chief, they are unable to identify the gender of the driver. The SUV had no other occupants. The cause of the crash and the fire is yet unknown.

“Basically, we just heard a crash, I thought it was just a crash maybe on the bridge or something. And then we come over here for coffee time and we just see a bunch of smoke,” construction worker Moises Valencia stated.
“We were just looking at smoke. We thought the railroad tires were on fire or a building was on fire, something like that. It wasn’t until the smoke cleared we saw something fell off the bridge.”
As of this moment in the investigation, no additional information is available.
