BROCKTON, MASS. (WHDH) - A Brockton man is facing several charges in connection with a deadly crash that claimed the life on an 87-year-old woman and injured several others in Pembroke earlier this month.

Cruz announced.
Troopers responding to a four-car crash along Route 3 north just before exit 12 around 9:30 a.m. on July 19 two occupants riding in a Volkswagen Tiguan suffering from serious injuries.

An investigation revealed that a Hyundai Elantra operated by Campbell was traveling at a high rate of speed when it rear ended the Volkswagen, according to Cruz.
The collision forced the Volkswagen to hit a Chrysler Town and County minivan before leaving the roadway and striking a tree.

The roadway was temporarily shut down and the crash snarled traffic for hours.

He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday via telephone in Plymouth District Court.
