Three people were killed in an accident on Route 8 in Massachusetts on Friday afternoon near the Connecticut border. Four cars total were involved in the accident. Three of them were from Connecticut, and one from New York. The road was closed at the border between Massachusetts and Connecticut.

According to Massachusetts State Trooper John Zielinski, a man in a 1999 Chevy Blazer traveling southbound crossed the double yellow line and entered the northbound lane, where he sideswiped a 2006 Jaguar. The Blazer then completely entered the lane and hit a 1993 Chevy pickup truck. A 2007 BMW then rear ended the pickup truck. The driver of the Blazer and two men in the pickup truck were killed at the scene.

Authorities from both Massachusetts and Connecticut have been investigating the scene of the accident. It is still unclear what caused it.
