Upon arrival, police said they determined a passenger had been ejected from the vehicle during the crash. The passenger was later identified as 32-year-old Oscar Lemus of New York.
The victim was transported to Baystate/Franklin Medical Center. He was pronounced dead at the hospital.
The other two victims – identified as a 54-year-old female passenger and a 57-year-old male driver – were transported to Baystate/Franklin Medical Center as well.
Police believe the Pathfinder was traveling with a flat tire southbound and the driver lost control of the vehicle, which caused the rollover.
