One Dead After Car Crashes Into Water Behind UMass Boston Campus
BOSTON (CBS) – A 25-year-old Lawrence man was found dead in a car that crashed into the water behind the UMass Boston campus.
The incident was reported just after noon on Saturday at Dorchester Bay. DeWayne Lehman of UMass Boston told WBZ-TV's Chantee Lans a jogger along Harbor Walk Road saw the car in the water.
He added that Harbor Walk is a popular coastal walkway that joggers and walkers use on a regular basis.
Massachusetts State Police said it appears the car drove through a chain-link fence and into the water, where it became partially submerged.
The man's death isn't considered suspicious and is being investigated as a non-homicide, according to the Suffolk District Attorney's Office. Officials haven't identified the man.
State Police are continuing to investigate the incident.
No additional details were immediately available.
