Jennifer M. Sylvia, 52, of Tiverton, lost her life following a serious car accident on Thursday night.
Captain Michael Miguel reported that at around 9:53 p.m., Tiverton Police responded to a call regarding a single-vehicle crash near 840 Lake Road.
Upon arrival, officers and fire personnel discovered a grey 2014 Subaru Impreza had veered off the road, collided with a tree, and caught fire. Sylvia, the sole occupant of the car, was trapped inside.
Emergency responders managed to extricate her from the burning vehicle, and she was transported to St. Anne’s Hospital in Fall River, Massachusetts. Sadly, she was pronounced dead at the hospital.
