A preliminary investigation reveals the vehicle was traveling down Ricciuti Drive shortly after 6 a.m. when it struck the curb, went airborne and rolled several times down a large hill, ejecting four people from the car. Police said the car landed on its roof just feet from Interstate 93 south before catching fire.

Two people were taken to South Shore Hospital where one person is in stable condition and the other was treated and released, police said.

Two others were taken to Boston Medical Center with serious injuries, police added.

Traffic on I-93 is slow but is getting by in the area of the crash.
