State police said Wednesday the man remains at Massachusetts General Hospital with life-threatening injuries.
Investigators say it appears the driver veered off the road to the right, causing the 2009 Honda Civic to roll into the woods. Police say speed may be a factor.
Both sides of the highway were closed after 8 a.m. to make way for the medical helicopter, MassDOT reported. By a little after 8:30 a.m., the highway was reported to be reopened.
An investigation is ongoing.
