A woman has died, and a man is fighting for his life after a fiery crash on Tuesday.
According to Massachusetts State Police, at approximately 5:15 p.m., Massachusetts State Police Troopers responded to a motor vehicle crash on Route 495 southbound at mile marker 33.8 in Foxborough. The crash involved a 2018 Ford Escape, operated by a 24-year-old woman from Mansfield, and a 2012 Hyundai Tucson, operated by a 30-year-old man from North Easton.
The operators of both vehicles suffered serious injuries and were transported to area hospitals for treatment. The operator of the Ford later succumbed to her injuries.
