A driver has been killed after a serious crash Friday morning.

According to Massachusetts State Police, at approximately 2:40 a.m., Troopers assigned to the State Police-Weston Barracks responded to a crash involving a car that had rear-ended a tractor-trailer on I-90 westbound in Framingham at the 113.6 mile marker.

When Troopers arrived on scene they discovered a 2020 Mini Cooper, operated by a 29-year-old Worcester woman, had struck the trailer being pulled by the truck. The woman was determined to be deceased on scene. There were no other occupants in the vehicle.

The crash remains under investigation by members of Troop H of the Massachusetts State Police with assistance from State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section and State Police Crime Scene Services Section.
