Graziano said the crash is still under investigation, but that speed or alcohol do not appear to be a factor at this time.
About an hour later, at 7:30 a.m., a vehicle rolled over after hitting a patch of ice on South Main Street near the Sherborn/Medfield line.
There were no injuries, according to Graziano.
More details about the roll over were unavailable at this time because the accident report has not been completed.
