Police are investigating deadly crash in Tyngsborough

Tyngsborough police are investigating a fatal crash involving a red Toyota Corolla and a dump truck, according to a statement from Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Tyngsborough Chief of Police Richard Howe.

According to authorities, police were en route to check the well-being of a resident around 1 p.m., when officers spotted the red Toyota Corolla.

The driver of the Corolla died at the scene, according to police. The garbage truck driver, who was not identified, was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the statement.

Authorities are investigating the crash. No charges have been filed and no additional information is being released at this time, according to the statement.
