A tragic morning in Lincoln, Massachusetts, as a head-on collision left one woman dead and two others injured, authorities confirmed. The crash, involving a Jeep Wrangler and a Chevy Silverado, occurred on Route 117 near Sweet Bay Lane, where officials said the Jeep veered into oncoming traffic and struck the Silverado.
The driver of the Jeep was pronounced dead at Emerson Hospital following the crash that took place at around 9:13 a.m. today, according to a joint statement released by Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan and Lincoln Acting Police Chief Sean Kennedy, as reported by Boston25News. A passenger from the Jeep and the Chevy’s driver were also hospitalized with injuries believed not to be life-threatening.
