STOCKBRIDGE — An Illinois man was killed in a single-vehicle accident on the Massachusetts Turnpike on Monday afternoon.

Police said Steven E. Meyerson, 63, of Highland Park, Ill., was ejected from his antique car after it struck a guardrail and flipped on the state highway. The driver was taken to Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield, where he was pronounced dead.

The driver was westbound at approximately 4:29 p.m. in a 1937 Chevrolet when the vehicle drifted off the roadway and struck the left guardrail; it then continued back across both lanes and struck the right guardrail and overturned, according to a preliminary investigation by Trooper James Ryan.

State police from the Lee barracks were called to the scene.

The name of the operator is being withheld pending proper identification and family notification. No further information was available from police.

All lanes of Interstate 90 West were closed for approximately 50 minutes for the investigation and vehicle recovery. 
The crash remains under investigation with the assistance of the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section and the State Police Crime Scene Services Section. The Lee Fire Department and Emergency Medical Service, and the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority Maintenance Section assisted troopers at the scene.

Updated on June 10, 2008, at 9:30 a.m. to include driver's name.

I was stopped close to the scene of this accident. The response time seemed shockingly slow. It took at least 20 minutes for the first police car to arrive and I believe the tow truck arrived before the ambulance finally came.
