One person is dead and two others injured in an accident in Woburn, Massachusetts.

Skyranger flew over the scene of the fatal accident at the corner of Commerce Way and Atlantic Avenue on Friday evening.

According to police, a pickup truck crashed into a car before jumping the curb and hitting two transformers, knocking out power to the area just before 9:30 p.m.

The driver of the pickup truck was pronounced dead at Lahey Hospital.

A passenger in the pickup truck was also taken to Lahey Hospital and another to Massachusetts General Hospital.

The driver was the only person in the other car and is expected to be fine, police said.

“All of a sudden the power went out. We live in the building here. When we came down, it was like a movie. There was debris everywhere. You can see what the truck did,” said Glen Green.

“It's a sad scene and tonight was the worst we've ever seen,” he added.

Neighbors say speed is a big problem in the area
