A 24-year-old woman died Wednesday morning after crashing her car through a CVS in Beverly, according to police.

A preliminary investigation indicated the crash was a suicide, Beverly police officer Mike Boccuzzi said. Police found the woman had suffered self-inflicted wounds as well as injuries from the crash.

She was pronounced dead after being taken to Beverly Hospital.

The incident happened around 2 a.m. at a shopping center on Dodge Street, police said. No CVS employees were injured, and no customers were in the store at the time.
