One man is dead and three others are injured after a three-vehicle crash in Topsfield, Massachusetts on Friday afternoon.

Massachusetts State Police says they responded to a crash on route 95 at around 4:17 p.m.

Police say an SUV occupied by two men from Lynn suddenly stopped on route 95 and the Chevrolet Impala behind the SUV began to break to avoid hitting the vehicle in front.

This caused the Impala to veer to its left. As the Impala moved left, it struck a van, causing it to slide across the grass median, where it then rolled over one and a half times, according to authorities.
