CHESHIRE, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — A multi-vehicle crash Sunday morning in Cheshire has left one person dead and two others injured.
The incident happened around 7 a.m. on Route 8, near Farnum Road, according to Massachusetts State Police.
A man was driving a Jeep behind another man driving a mustang at the time. According to police, the man in the Jeep tried to pass the Mustang when a third man, in a Hyundai, was driving toward them in the opposite direction.
The man in the Hyundai has been identified as 61-year-old Anthony Emard.
