In a tragic turn of events earlier today, Massachusetts State Police were called to the scene of a deadly rollover crash on Route 93 north in Stoneham, which claimed the life of a 34-year-old woman. The crash occurred at around 8:40 AM and involved a 2015 Nissan Rogue Sport utility vehicle. The driver, whose identity has been withheld pending family notification, was thrown from the vehicle and pronounced deceased at the scene, as reported by mspnews.org.
Authorities are now urgently tracking down a second vehicle they suspect was in close proximity during the crash. Described as a dark-colored small SUV, possibly a Subaru Crosstrek or a Nissan Rogue, it was reportedly being driven erratically and at a high rate of speed along Route 93 north in Medford and Stoneham moments before the fatal incident. The State Police are asking anyone with information or who may have witnessed the SUV to come forward and assist in the investigation.
According to mspnews.org, the search for the erratic vehicle is part of a larger investigation that is being conducted by multiple agencies, including the State Police-Medford Barracks, the State Police Detective Unit for Middlesex County, and the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office. Specialists from the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section and the State Police Crime Scene Services Section are also contributing to the complex inquiry.
The State Police have established two contact points for anyone with potentially valuable information: Trooper CJ Murgo at the State Police Detective Unit for Middlesex County can be reached at 781-897-6609, or the State Police-Medford Barracks at 781-396-0100. The authorities stress the importance of public assistance in piecing together the moments that led up to the fatal crash and in possibly identifying the vehicle in question. They hope to urgently bring closure to the incident and subsequently provide answers to the family of the woman whose journey was so abruptly and tragically cut short that morning on Route 93.
