FREETOWN Developing, 5:40 a.m. Nov. 14, 2026.
A vehicle rolled over on Route 24 southbound near exit 13 in Freetown early Saturday morning, and fire crews said one person from the vehicle would be transported, according to Freetown police and fire and Massachusetts State Police radio traffic.
State Police asked for Freetown fire, and Freetown dispatch toned out fire stations 3 and 1 at 5:13 a.m. for what it called a crash with a rollover on Route 24 south in the area of exit 13, the dispatch said. Crews placed the scene near mile marker 12.4 southbound, and a trooper reported over the radio at about 5:15 a.m. that the operator was out of the vehicle.
The first Freetown engine arrived at about 5:22 a.m. and radioed that crews were working in the high-speed lane, according to the radio traffic. At about 5:25 a.m., fire crews reported that one occupant would be transported, and a second Freetown engine was sent to the scene a short time later.
Drivers heading south on Route 24 toward Fall River should expect fire trucks, a Freetown rescue unit and State Police cruisers near exit 13 and mile marker 12.4, and should slow down and give crews room in the left lane.
