Massachusetts State Police troopers in Franklin County responded to the rollover crash on Route 91 south in Bernardston shortly after 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 4, which resulted in the death of a passenger.

Police said that upon arrival, troopers found Flushing resident Oscar Lemus, age 32, ejected from a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder that had crashed and rolled over into the median.
