According to authorities, a 23-year-old woman was slain after her vehicle crossed into opposing traffic and collided with a flatbed tow truck in South Boston.
Saturday at 11:30 p.m., according to the Massachusetts State Police, a collision occurred on South Boston Bypass Road, just east of Frontage Road.
The crash victim was reportedly driving a 2023 Chrysler Pacifica on the roadway heading west when, for reasons that are under investigation, her vehicle crossed into the eastbound lane and struck an oncoming tow truck.
“The operator of the Chrysler, a 23-year-old woman, sustained severe injuries and was extricated from her vehicle by responding troopers,” MSP spokesman Dave Procopio said in a press release. She was transported to Boston Medical Center by Boston EMS, where she was pronounced dead.
Authorities reported that the tow truck driver, a 65-year-old male from Rowley, sustained minor injuries and was transported to Mass General for evaluation.
No further information has been disclosed at this time.
