A woman was killed and a man sustained life-threatening injuries in a car crash around 10 p.m. Saturday in Norton.

The 49-year-old Taunton woman was a passenger in a vehicle operated by the 46-year-old Taunton man. Their names have not been released.

The man was taken to Rhode Island Hospital, and Massachusetts State Police did not have an update on his condition Monday morning.

The other driver, a 22-year-old man from Middleborough, was not injured.


The crash is under investigation.
