The road was closed for some time after the crash, but has since reopened, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation said.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the crash, but snow, slush and rain caused slick conditions in Wrentham and elsewhere across Massachusetts.
"It's a dark section of road, as you can see, and obviously, the weather is not good, so visibility was not great," McGrath said.
