WORCESTER, MA—Worcester police are trying to figure out what caused a crash that killed one woman on Wednesday afternoon.

On July 13, at 12:31 p.m., Worcester police were dispatched to 54 Blackstone River Road for a report of an accident involving multiple vehicles. One of the occupants had been ejected from the vehicle during the crash.

Officers found a green Ford Expedition, a blue Jaguar and a red Pontiac in the middle of the street at the intersection of Blackstone River Road and Whipple streets. A 48-year old woman was lying face down in the road when police arrived. A short distance away sat a Blue Chevy Cruze that was also involved in the accident. The victim was given first aid, and was transported by EMS to a local hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
