State police said a 41-year-old Randolph man, Christopher Dopson, was killed in the crash. He was driving a 2011 Chevy Malibu in the wrong direction -- northbound on the southbound side of the highway -- when he crashed into a 2008 Honda Pilot head on.
The driver of the Honda, a 34-year-old man, also from Randolph, was taken to Boston Medical Center with serious injuries.
Police are continuing to investigate the crash, including why the Chevy was driving on the wrong side of the highway.
