WATERTOWN, MASS. (WHDH) - Police are investigating a three-vehicle crash in Watertown Wednesday night that left at least one person dead.

Officers responding to a reported multi-vehicle crash in the area of Bridge Street about 6:22 p.m. found two damaged SUVs and a car that was flipped over onto its roof. One of the victims, a woman, has died.

“The vehicle was traveling eastbound on Pleasant Street, lost control for some reason at a high rate of speed, struck the back of the vehicle in front of it, flipped to its side, and flipped into a car traveling the opposite way, and flipped over on its roof,” Watertown Police Chief Michael Lawn said.

The driver of one of the other vehicles, a 41-year-old woman, and her three passengers were transported to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, officials say.

An investigation is ongoing.
