One person is dead following a crash on 495 in Norton Thursday morning.

The accident happened around 7:30 a.m. between exits 9 and 10 when a Saturn traveling southbound in the high speed lane crossed the median and was struck by a Nissan traveling northbound.

Massachusetts State Police say the Saturn crossed the median when another vehicle changed lanes in front of it.

The driver of the Saturn, 31-year-old Dominica Howard, of Norwood, was taken to the hospital with serious injuries where she later died.

The driver of the Nissan was not charged, and the vehicle that changed lanes is cooperating with police.
