According to a preliminary investigation, McGrath-Edlund was behind the wheel of a 2013 BMW as he was traveling fast and changing lanes. His BMW hit a Subaru station wagon and a Honda CRV, causing the three vehicles to roll over, state police said.
All southbound lanes were closed following the crash, and traffic was being detoured to Exit 19. Drivers were encouraged to seek an alternate route in the area.
