A single car crash in Killington claimed the life of a Massachusetts man.

Vermont State Police along with Killington Police responded to the scene around 1:30 this morning. The incident happened at the intersection of Tanglewood and Gina Drive. They say a Ford Focus driven by 25-year-old Stephen Driscoll, of Bedford, N.H. failed to negotiate the turn, left the roadway and struck a tree.

The passenger, 30-year-old Alejandro Phoenix of Rockland, MA was pronounced dead at the scene from significant head injuries. Police say he was not wearing a seat-belt.

Anyone who may have witnessed the crash is being asked to contact the Vermont State Police Rutland barracks.

Terrible tragedy. Hard to believe an accident of that magnitude is possible at that location.

Speed and/or alcohol likely factors at that hour. That location doesn't seem all that difficult to navigate otherwise. And, of course, the deceased passenger wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

We walk the dog down Tanglewood all the time, certainly not a difficult road to navigate.
