BOSTON (AP) - State police say one person died and two others were injured when a car rolled over on a portion of Boston roadway that remained closed after the city’s July Fourth celebrations.
Spokesman David Procopio said in an email that the car crashed on Storrow Drive at about 1:30 a.m. Friday, apparently after driving around barriers put up for holiday festivities on the Esplanade. The vehicle hit a building and came to rest on Back Street, parallel to Storrow Drive.
A Boston Pops concert and fireworks display had ended about 2 ½ hours before the crash.
