Police said the crash happened about 7:40 p.m. near the intersection of routes 47 and 20 when a silver Toyota Prius traveling north on Route 47 crossed into the southbound lanes and struck a silver Ford F-150 on the driver's side, causing the pickup truck to roll onto its side. A yellow Toyota Camry traveling behind the pickup also collided with the Prius.

The driver of the Prius was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

Two adults were transported to a hospital, while another adult and juvenile were treated at the scene and released.

Route 47 was closed for more than five hours as investigators examined the crash site. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
