One person died in the crash on U.S. Route 1 in Saugus, Massachusetts.
A man was killed Wednesday afternoon when the dump truck he was driving hit a guardrail and rolled over on U.S. Route 1 in Saugus.
State police responded shortly after 2 p.m. to the crash near the interchange with Lynn Fells Parkway. The truck landed upright after rolling over completely, blocking the roadway.
The driver of the truck was pronounced dead at the scene. He has been identified as John R. Thebeau, 62, of Wilmington.
