SAUGUS, MASS. (WHDH) - A father of four was killed on Sunday after his car went crashing through a garage and down an embankment in Saugus.

The car reportedly smashed through a two-car garage, tumbled off a 20-foot cliff and flipped over, landing upside-down in a snowy ravine.

Police responding to Hammersmith Drive about 1:30 p.m. say the victim, whose name has not been released, was transported to a nearby hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The victim’s family told 7News’ Steve Tellier that the victim was a hard-worker and a great father. He leaves behind a wife of 50 years and four sons.

The family believes the victim suffered a medical emergency upon entering the driveway and that weather was not a factor.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
