Officials have released the name of a man killed in a Milton car crash Wednesday night.
Massachusetts State Police say that shortly after 10 p.m. troopers responded to a single-vehicle crash on Chickatawbut Rd., near the intersection with Forest St. adjacent to the Blue Hills Reservation.
A preliminary investigation indicated that a 2015 Kia Optima being driven by 29-year-old Jake Bjork of Raynham was entering a right bearing curve just after Forest St. when Bjork lost control of the car.
The Optima began rotating, went off the road and went down an embankment, striking a fence, a wooden structure, and a tree.
Firefighters freed Bjork from the car using mechanical means but he was determined him to be deceased at the scene.
The incident remains under investigation by State Police-Milton, the State Police Troop H Detective Unit, the State Police Crime Scene Services Section, the State Police Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Section, and the State Police Detective Unit for Norfolk County.
