Ashland Police are not identifying the victim pending notification of his next of kin, Briggs said.
The accident was reported at 8:54 p.m. Sunday, Briggs said. The MetroWest Daily News reports the accident happened on Cordaville Road.
"First responding officers found the vehicle, a 2004 Ford F350, on its roof," Briggs said.
"It appears the vehicle left the road and knocked down two utility poles,
causing the vehicle to overturn. The lone occupant/operator was found
unconscious in the vehicle. He was subsequently pronounced dead at the
scene.
"(The) Mass State Police Accident Reconstruction Team is investigating the
accident to determine a cause. It does appear that speed may have been a
factor in the accident."
