Fatal crash snarls traffic on southbound I-93
By Brian R. Ballou, Globe Staff, and Andrew Ryan, Globe Correspondent

A man died in a two-vehicle crash on southbound Interstate 93 in Dorchester this afternoon in an accident that has traffic backed up from Freeport Street past Massachusetts Avenue, according to police and witnesses.

The crash at about 12:30 p.m. has closed three lanes of I-93, police said. The name of the man who died was not released.

Joseph Jackson, 24, was driving south on I-93 when he said he saw a white Toyota Solara make "a NASCAR-type move" and change lanes, cutting off a black Ford sports utility vehicle.

The Solara clipped the back of the SUV, Jackson said. The driver of the SUV lost control and flipped twice, crashing into a guard rail and landing upside-down.

The driver of the Solara pulled over and stopped about 100 yards in front of the crash, Jackson said. The accident remains under investigation.

Some people will never learn no matter how many times this kind of thing happens that a car isn't a play toy.

Sadly there are far too many people who drive like this these days and don't think of the consequences. I'm sure the driver of the Toyota is very sorry now, but he/she can't go back and change what happened.

Hopefully someone, anyone can learn from this. Especially today's young drivers! Life is too precious to take these kinds of chances.

I'm sure he or she didn't mean for this to happen and would like to take that 5 minutes back. People sometimes don't think to look at what mght happen if they do something dumb like this and how it could effect other people, because if they did, they would probably think twice before doing a stunt like this.
