SOUTHBORO — The Southboro Police Department responded Friday morning to a fatal motor vehicle crash on Route 9, which took the life of a 37-year-old Leominster woman.
The Southboro Police and Fire Departments responded to Turnpike Road, Route 9 East, after receiving multiple 911 calls reporting a serious motor vehicle crash.
First responders arrived to find a two-vehicle crash. One of the drivers was pronounced dead at the scene. She was later identified as Crystal Johnson Clementi, 37, of Leominster.
“Our thoughts are with Crystal’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time,” said a statement from the Southboro Police Department. “We understand how deeply this tragedy has affected the community and we ask for continued patience and compassion as the investigation moves forward.”
The other driver, a 23-year-old woman from Bolton, was transported by Southboro Fire to a local hospital with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening.
