One is dead and another injured after a multi-vehicle collision this morning.

According to police, at approximately 9:45 a.m., Plymouth Police received multiple calls reporting a two-vehicle motor vehicle crash at the intersection of Plimoth Patuxet Highway and State Road.

Upon arrival, responding officers and Plymouth Fire personnel rendered aid to both operators. Both individuals were transported to area hospitals. One operator has since succumbed to their injuries.

After the information released by police, Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy Cruz announced that at approximately 9:37 a.m., Plymouth Police received a 911 call for a report of a domestic violence incident. Upon arrival, the male suspect had left the scene operating a blue Volvo. At 9:30 a.m., Plymouth Police located the suspect vehicle and initiated a brief pursuit along Route 3 North before terminating the pursuit due to the erratic operation of the motor vehicle. At 9:46 a.m., Plymouth Police received a 911 call reporting a blue Volvo driving erratically on Route 3 South. One minute later, Plymouth Police received a 911 call for a report of a two-car, head-on crash at 232 Warren Avenue. Plymouth Police and Fire responded to the scene.

The single operator of a Porsche Macan involved in the crash was transported to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The male operator of the Volvo was pronounced deceased at Beth Isreal Deaconess Hospital in Plymouth. The driver is not being identified at this time.

Plymouth Police and Massachusetts State Police Detective Unit assigned to the
Plymouth County District Attorney’s Office continue to investigate the incident.
