BOSTON (WHDH) – One person died and two others were injured following a violent crash involving a plow truck that left one car mangled in West Roxbury early Thursday morning.

Officers responding to a report of a crash on Washington Street around 1 a.m. found a pickup truck equipped with a snow plow and a severely damaged white sedan that had been involved in a crash.

The man inside the car was taken to an area hospital, where he was later pronounced dead, according to a Boston police spokesperson.

The two occupants inside the plow truck were taken to an area hospital with minor injuries.

The names of those involved in the crash have not been released.
