A 25-year-old man who was not wearing a seat belt was killed overnight in a car crash in the Sumner Tunnel, State Police said.

Brian P. Bartlett was driving a 1998 Mercedes sedan at a high rate of speed when he hit a wall in the tunnel just before midnight, according to a State Police press release. Bartlett, of Hanover, was ejected from the car and pronounced dead at the scene.

Three passengers in the car suffered minor injuries. They were identified as Matthew Shea and Douglas Newcomb, both 25-year-old Randolph residents; and Christopher Ray, 27, of Concord.

The crash remains under investigation by the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section and the State Police Crime Scene Services Section.
