Loved ones ‘blessed with 35 years of memories’ remember teacher killed on I-93
A funeral Mass was held on Tuesday for the art teacher killed Friday on Interstate 93, according to The Boston Globe.
Caitlin Clavette, 35, was killed when a manhole cover became dislodged from the surface of I-93 southbound inside the O’Neill Tunnel and crashed through her windshield.
Clavette, an Arlington resident, taught art in all four of Milton’s elementary schools, according to statement by the district’s superintendent. She was a graduate of Winchester High School and received her master’s from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston after attending the College of William and Mary.
Clavette was eulogized by her brother.
“You have to change your perspective,’’ Andrew Clavette told mourners, according to the Globe. “You have to know how blessed you were to have Caitlin. All of us… We were blessed with 35 years of memories and that we’ll all have forever.’’
In response to the accident, four crews from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation and state police began inspecting every manhole cover, grate, and electrical panel cover on Boston’s highways Friday afternoon. The review found “no major issues,’’ transportation officials said Saturday.
The manhole that caused the crash covered a storm drainage system and was last inspected June 12, 2014.
