A 69-year-old man died and a woman was seriously injured during a crash Friday involving two cars and a tractor-trailer along the Massachusetts Turnpike in Becket, officials said Sunday.
The three vehicles were heading east around 3:20 p.m. when the tractor-trailer crashed into the rear of a 2020 Toyota Camry that was slowing for traffic, pushing the Camry into the back of a 2008 Toyota Sienna van, State Police said in a statement.
The driver of the Camry, Gary Litwin of Ludlow, was taken to Baystate Medical Center in Springfield where he was later pronounced dead, State Police said. His passenger, a 66-year-old Ludlow woman, was taken to Baystate Medical Center with serious injuries. The driver of the Sienna, a 39-year-old woman from West Springfield, was taken to Berkshire Medical Center in Pittsfield for examination.
The driver of the tractor-trailer, a 67-year-old man from West Granby, Conn., was not injured and is expected to face charges. The Berkshire District Attorney’s Office plans to release the man’s identity and a list of charges Monday, according to State Police.
Parts of the highway were closed Friday until about 8:40 p.m. while State Police and members of the district attorney’s office conducted their investigation. The Lee Fire Department and members of the Massachusetts Department of Transportation assisted at the scene.
