A 24-year-old woman died in a collision on Route 44 in Taunton on Sunday morning, officials say.

At 1:24 a.m., a gray 2015 Infiniti operated by a 27-year-old Fall River man was traveling eastbound on Route 44 in the area of 608 Winthrop St. when it hit a tractor-trailer from behind, according to a statement from the Bristol County District Attorney’s Office.
