PLYMOUTH Developing, 4:08 a.m. Nov. 11, 2026.
A patient was extricated after a crash on Route 3 northbound just before exit 15 in Plymouth late Tuesday night, Nov. 10, and was then with EMS, according to fire radio traffic and the state Mass511 traffic system.
At about 10:46 p.m., responding units were told over the fire radio that the call was a little before exit 15. At about 10:51 p.m., Engine 11 reported that it was on scene, and a report on the same channel moments later said the patient had been extricated and was with EMS, according to the radio traffic.
Mass511, the state traffic system, listed a crash on Route 3 northbound between exit 13 and exit 15, the Route 44 exit, in Plymouth beginning at about 10:58 p.m., with the roadway reduced to one lane, when South Coast 360 read it at 11:20 p.m.
At about 11:50 p.m., Engine 11 radioed that command on Route 3 northbound was terminated and that it was returning. The Mass511 crash listing was gone when South Coast 360 checked the system again at about 1:50 a.m. Wednesday.
South Coast 360 is asking Massachusetts State Police and the Plymouth Fire Department how many vehicles were involved, whether anyone was hurt or taken to a hospital, how the crash happened and how long the lane was closed.

Notes
This story comes from two places: fire radio traffic on the Carver, Plymouth, Wareham and Plympton fire channel between 10:46 and 11:50 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 10, which we read in our transcript log, and the state Mass511 traffic system, which listed a crash on Route 3 northbound between exit 13 and exit 15 in Plymouth from 10:58 p.m. when we read it at 11:20 p.m. The radio gave the exit, the direction, Engine 11 on scene, the patient extricated and with EMS, and command terminated on Route 3 northbound; Mass511 gave the road, the town and the lane closure. State Police and the Plymouth Fire Department have not yet confirmed the details, and we are asking them to. We have left out any names, any word on injuries or a hospital and any cause until officials speak.
