Stoughton Police Chief Donna McNamara said the accident is under investigation.
"I do not want to speculate on anything at this time," she said. "It is a serious tragedy and a serious crash scene as you can see from the debris and the scene itself."
People who live in the area say it's a dangerous stretch of road, and they've seen a number of crashes in the area in the past.
"People speed down here," Wagner said. "They even have police monitors and stuff down here. Coming over that hill there, it's kind of like a straight shot into the tree almost."
Police and the Norfolk County District Attorney's Office are continuing to investigate the cause of the crash.
