Four people, including two EMTs and a patient aboard an ambulance, were injured in a fatal accident involving several vehicles along Interstate 93 in Dorchester.

One person is dead after a crash that involved several vehicles, including an ambulance with a patient inside, occurred on Interstate 93 in Dorchester on Saturday night, according to Massachusetts State police.

The woman who died, Ashley Rose Jimenez, lost control of her car, crashed into a highway barrier and into an ambulance, police said.

Jimenez, 39 from Dennis, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on I-93 north before Exit 14, police said.

The crash, which took place at about 7:40 p.m., injured four other people including two EMTs and a patient in the ambulance as well as a man in another car, police said. The crash involved five vehicles, police said.

After a preliminary investigation, police said Jimenez’s Nissan Altima crashed into a barrier at Exit 14 on I-93 north, police said. Investigators found open and closed bottles of alcohol in Jimenez’s car. Troopers had received reports that a car matching its description was driving erratically earlier in the night on Route 3, police said.

Police have yet to determine why Jimenez crashed. The investigation remains ongoing.
