COLCHESTER – A 66-year-old woman was killed and several people were injured in a multi-vehicle crash Saturday night on U.S. 7, Colchester police said.

Police Chief Jennifer Morrison said one person was dead at the scene following the crash shortly after 7 p.m.

The name of the deceased was being withheld pending notification of next of kin.

Colchester officers were still at the scene Saturday night sorting out what caused the crash.
