At approximately 6 p.m. last night Troopers assigned to the Sturbridge Barracks responded to reports of a vehicle traveling the wrong way on Route 84 in Sturbridge. Cruisers raced to the scene in an attempt to stop the driver but instead arrived to a crash scene between a Volvo XC60 with a New Hampshire registration and a Nissan Murano with a Connecticut registration.
Lifesaving efforts were immediately attempted by responding cruisers, however, the crash resulted in fatal injuries to one occupant in one vehicle and two occupants in a second vehicle. No other information is available at this time.
The exact cause and circumstances surrounding the crash remain under investigation by Troop C of the Massachusetts State Police, the State Police Detective Unit for Worcester County, the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section, the State Police Crime Scene Services Section, and the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office.
Troopers were assisted on scene by Sturbridge Fire and EMS, Southbridge Fire, MassDOT, and the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.
