STOUGHTON (CBS) -- A passenger ejected in a crash on Route 24 in Stoughton early Sunday morning was struck by several other vehicles and died, according to officials.
Massachusetts State Police said troopers responded to a report of a pedestrian struck on the northbound side of the road by Exit 20 just after 3 a.m. It's believed that a 1999 Acura traveling north crashed for an unknown reason, causing the passenger to be ejected.
