Police investigating fatal multi-vehicle crash in Sharon
A 29-year-old woman from Norwood was killed.
State police are investigating a multi-vehicle crash in Sharon that left a 29-year-old woman dead on Tuesday.
Troopers responded to reports of the crash on Route 1 southbound, just a quarter mile north of Old Post Road, around 12:05 p.m. on Tuesday, according to police.
The initial investigation found the crash occurred when a Ford Escape, operated by a 32-year-old Norwood man, struck a tractor-trailer that was stopped in the breakdown lane. Police said the Escape then went into a spin, careening into the left lane and striking a pickup truck that was driving by.
The passenger in the Escape, a 29-year-old woman from Norwood, was transported to Rhode Island Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
