Authorities are investigating a fatal head-on crash in Sudbury involving a car and a tractor-trailer, the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office said Tuesday.

According to the DA’s office, the crash happened around 10:30 a.m. near the intersection of Route 20 and Wayside Inn Road.

“The preliminary investigation suggests that a tractor trailer truck was traveling westbound on Route 20 when it collided head on with a sedan that was traveling eastbound on Route 20,” the DA’s office said in a press release.

In a release Tuesday evening, the DA’s office said that the driver of the sedan died on the scene. Authorities did not release his name but identified him as a 34-year-old Framingham man.

The driver of the tractor trailer was brought to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, the DA said. Both drivers were the only occupants of their vehicles.
