Despite rescue efforts by several people, a 26-year-old Massachusetts woman was killed in a rollover crash this morning.
According to Massachusetts State Police, at approximately 5:55 a.m. Troopers assigned to the State Police-Leominster Barracks responded to a single-vehicle crash involving a 2002 Ford Explorer that had rolled over on Route 2 westbound in Fitchburg around the 97.7 mile marker.
When Troopers arrived on scene, they found bystanders attempting CPR on the sole occupant of the vehicle, a female. Attempts by bystanders and Troopers to save the woman’s life were unsuccessful.
The operator, a 26-year-old Gardner resident, was determined to be deceased on scene. No other vehicles are believed to have been involved in the crash.
The crash remains under investigation by Troop C of the Massachusetts State Police with assistance from State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section and State Police Crime Scene Services Section.
