Milford teen killed in Northbridge crash
Maverick Westcott, 18, died at the scene.
Authorities are investigating an early morning crash in Northbridge Monday that resulted in the death of an 18-year-old from Milford.
Northbridge police said officers responded to the single-vehicle crash on Quaker Street, near School Street and Quaker Lane, around 4:15 a.m. First responders found the car, which police said “sustained heavy damage to the roof,” down an embankment. The driver was trapped inside.
The driver, later identified as 18-year-old Maverick Wescott, of Milford, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said the initial investigation indicates the car was traveling south on Quaker Street at a high speed when it lost control, left the roadway, flipped over the guardrail, and struck a tree. The collision with the tree crushed in the roof, police said.
