Signoretti, the lone occupant, was transported to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, where he succumbed to his injuries this morning.

The facts and circumstances of the crash remain under investigation by Troop A of the Massachusetts State Police with the assistance of the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section and the State Police Crime Scene Services Section. Troopers were assisted at the scene by the Lexington Police and Fire Department. Rte. 2 westbound was closed for approximately three hours during the course of the investigation.
