SOUTHBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Police say one man has died and a second has been sent to a hospital after their car struck a tree in Southborough.

Chief Jane Moran identified the man who died in the crash just before 9 p.m. Tuesday as 23-year-old Ariel Medina-Vaca.

Both men are Framingham residents.

Moran says it's unclear why their vehicle left the road and it's not yet known who was driving or whether the men were wearing seat belts.

The crash remains under investigation.
