UPDATE: Police release name of Haverhill woman killed in I-495 crash

ANDOVER — Police have identified the woman who died in a five-car crash on Interstate 495 southbound this morning as Maureen Bonnell, 59, of Haverhill.

Troopers from the Massachusetts State Police Andover barracks responded to reports of the crash at around 6:40 a.m., where trooper Thomas Hollow discovered a 2010 Honda CRV driven by Bonnell had struck at 2015 GMC Sierra pickup truck from behind, according to a press release issued by state police Tuesday morning.

The driver of the GMC Sierra, a 57-year-old man from South Berwick, Maine, suffered injuries that were not life-threatening and was transported to Lawrence General Hospital.

Three other vehicles were involved, including a Toyota 4Runner driven by a 51-year-old man from Newton, New Hampshire, a Chevrolet Impala driven by a 22-year-old man from North Andover, and a Mazda 3, driven by a 54-year-old woman from Farmington, New Hampshire, but none of the drivers were injured.

State police said a "preliminary investigation indicated traffic was slow or at a near standstill prior to the crash, due to regular commuters, when the Honda CRV struck the GMC Sierra at a speed greater than that of the other traffic." 

The crash caused considerable traffic delays, as the right two lanes were closed until the scene was cleared just before 9 a.m. 

The crash remains under investigation by troopers assigned to State Police Andover barracks.
