An overnight crash late Tuesday involving three cars and a tractor-trailer on the MassPike led to one fatality, Hopkinton’s fire chief confirmed Thursday afternoon.

HFD Chief Gary Daugherty said that the crash occurred at the Hopkinton-Westborough line on Tuesday at approximately 11:40 p.m. He noted that the site is a “tricky location” because that area goes from Westborough to a 1-mile stretch in Hopkinton before becoming Westborough again. There also is construction occurring in this area.

“Anytime an accident like that happens, both departments go,” he explained.

The Massachusetts State Police announced that troopers from the Charlton Barracks responded to the crash on Interstate 90 West in Hopkinton, and an individual was transported to a local hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. The MSP identified the deceased as David Fencil, 48, of Calvert City, Kentucky, although a web search for that town shows a David Frencl of the same age.

Daugherty said the victim was extricated by the Westborough Fire Department and that two other people were transported to UMass Medical Center in Worcester by HFD for the treatment of minor injuries.

The accident briefly shut down the MassPike westbound. One lane remained closed for several hours.
