The other car involved also sustained serious front-end damage, but the driver of that car was seriously injured and trapped in the vehicle. Sturbridge firefighters used the jaws of life to remove the woman, 58-year-old Deborah Parker, of Palmer. Though a medical helicopter was waiting nearby to take her to UMass Memorial Medical Center, her condition "rapidly declined," according to Sturbridge fire officials, and she was taken to nearby Harrington Memorial Hospital by ambulance, where she later succumbed to her injuries and died.
Police continue to investigate the crash, though preliminary findings show that Parker was traveling south on Route 148 when she crossed over the median. It also appears that Parker was not wearing a seatbelt, while both Ryan and Conor Fabrycki were wearing seatbelts, according to police.
