Needham Man Hospitalized After Rolling Jaguar on Rte. 128

A 43-year-old Needham man was sent to a Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston Friday afternoon after he rolled his black Jaguar XJ on the left side of Rte. 128 northbound in Dedham.

The man was conscious and alert when emergency crews arrived at the scene, they said. 

State Police are withholding his name until his family is notified, a spokesperson said Friday afternoon.

Dedham and Westwood firefighters had to use hydraulic rescue tools to get him out of his car, which was turned onto its passenger side.

The accident happened just after the Washington Street overpass, one mile before Exit 16.

Officials said the Needham man crossed three lanes of traffic, and hit a tree off to the left of the highway, causing the car to rollover.

Pieces of the car were found in the woods.

Police and fire officials closed off the left lane of Rte. 128 as they worked the scene, causing traffic to backup past Exit 15.
