A 62-year-old man from Connecticut has been identified as the victim in a Friday afternoon crash on I-495 in Haverhill. 

David Ziembko, of New Britain, Connecticut, may have suffered a medical event before the crash that claimed his life, state police said. 

Police said Ziembko was traveling in the left lane on I-495 southbound around 2:54 p.m. on Friday when, just prior to the Route 97 overpass, his car drove off the road and onto the grass median, where it struck a guardrail and rolled over. The 62-year-old was extricated from the vehicle by first responders and transported to Lawrence General Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
