A 14-year-old is dead after an SUV hit a boat trailer on the side of a Cape Cod road.
A 14-year-old was killed and two other people were hurt when an SUV hit a boat trailer on the side of a road in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, Friday, police said.
The crash, which took place about 1 p.m. on North Main Street near the intersection with Great Western Road, left a person pinned between the boat and the pickup truck that had been towing it, according to police. The truck had pulled over because of a broken axle and people inside were out of the truck to fix the issue.
"Unbelievable," said David Fellows, who lives near the crash site. "It's broad daylight. The guy was pulled mostly off the road."
It's unknown why the driver of the SUV didn't notice the pickup and trailer pulled over on the side of the road.
Longtime residents say speeding is often an issue on North Main Street.
"People fly by it," said resident Sam Medeiros. "It's not the first, second, third accident we've seen here, unfortunately."
The victim who died was not immediately identified.
Two other people were brought to Cape Cod Hospital. Their conditions were not immediately known.
The driver of the Cadillac SUV that hit the boat trailer remained at the scene and is cooperating with the investigation, police said. They have not said if that driver would face any charges.
Police asked for "the community to keep this family, their loved ones, and first responders in their thoughts."
Footage from the scene showed a speedboat that was off its trailer, its bow in the treeline and aft alongside the pickup truck that appeared to have been towing it.
