A 73-year-old Peabody woman was killed today in a head-on crash on Route 1 in Danvers, state police said.
Joyce E. Oliver was driving north on the road at about 9 a.m. when a car driven by Buck C. Bishop, 18, crossed from the southbound to the northbound lanes and crashed into her car, police said. Oliver was rushed to Beverly Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Moments after the initial crash, a third car traveling north slammed into the vehicles.
Bishop and the driver and passenger of the third car suffered minor injuries.
The crash remains under investigation, police said. Route 1 was closed for about 90 minutes.
