Cranston police confirm one person is dead after a car crash on Wednesday evening.

Maj. Todd Patalano said crews were called to a multi-car accident on Dyer Avenue where a car struck two other vehicles before crashing into a home.

Patalano said the driver of an SUV hit a parked vehicle on Dyer Avenue before continuing to drive and hitting a second vehicle.

The car then struck and significantly damaged a home at 699 Dyer Ave., according to police.
