Driver Has Heart Attack, Ties Up Jamaicaway

A driver who had a heart attack while driving on the Jamaicaway Saturday just before 6 p.m. reportedly could not be resuscitated by emergency personnel.

Massachusetts State Police responded to a medical incident at 5:55 p.m. Saturday, said State Police spokesman Trooper Thomas Murphy.

"There was a report of a man slumped over the wheel," said Murphy, who added that he could not give further information because the State Police does not release details of medical incidents.

The Boston Fire Department responded to the scene, and reportedly gave the man CPR and used a defibrillator but could not revive the man.

The man, whose name was not released, was sent to Brigham and Women's Hospital, Murphy said.

The incident tied up the Jamaicaway westbound for a time Saturday evening.
