WEST SPRINGFIELD - A Springfield man was seriously injured when he was ejected from his car in a single-vehicle accident on Route 5 Tuesday evening.
Although no names have been released, police did say that just before 9:30 p.m., the vehicle, driven by a Springfield man with a male passenger, was traveling south on Route 5. The driver apparently lost control of the car, struck a guardrail, and was ejected from the car.
He was taken to the Baystate Medical Center with serious injuries and his passenger was treated for less serious injuries, according to police.
The southbound lanes of Route 5 were closed for more than an hour as officers investigated the crash that damaged almost 40 feet of guardrail on the shoulder of the road.
No further information was available and as of early Wednesday morning, the crash was still under investigation.
