A driver has died after a crash caused a vehicle to burst into flames Tuesday.
According to Massachusetts State Police, at approximately 3:40 a.m. Massachusetts State Troopers, along with Agawam Fire, responded to a single-vehicle crash on Route 57 westbound in Agawam at the Gardner Street overpass that resulted in one fatality.
Preliminary investigation indicates that a 2021 Lincoln Navigator was westbound when, for reasons still under investigation, it went off the road to the right, and struck the bridge abutment. The Lincoln then burst into flames. Upon arrival by Emergency Personnel the Lincoln was fully engulfed. After the fire was put out by Agawam Fire a body was found in the Lincoln.
The operator was determined to be deceased at the scene. The operator’s positive identity is pending the Medical Examiners report.
The investigation into the crash is ongoing and is being conducted by Troop B of the Massachusetts State Police, the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section, the State Police Crime Scene Services Section and Troopers assigned to the Hampden District Attorney’s office.
Troopers were assisted on scene by Agawam Fire.
