Zachary R. Lemir, 23, of Warwick, has been identified as the lone victim in a fatal crash on Route 495 in Franklin, Mass. on July 28.

At approximately 6 a.m. on Thursday, July 28, Massachusetts State Troopers responded to reports of a single-vehicle crash on Route 495 northbound, north of Exit 17, in Franklin that resulted in the death of the operator.

Preliminary investigation indicates that an adult male was operating a 1997 Ford F-150 pickup northbound when, for reasons still under investigation, the truck went off the road to the right and into the woods. The operator, the truck’s lone occupant, was determined to be deceased on-scene.

The crash remains under investigation by Troop H of the Massachusetts State Police with assistance from the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section, the State Police Crime Scene Services Section, and the State Police Detective Unit for Norfolk County. Troopers were assisted on-scene by the Franklin Fire Department, Bellingham Fire and Police Departments, and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.
